Generosity Surrounds Us

After the yard sale, we needed to go around the neighborhood and remove signs. While we were busy with this, we left out a sign saying "Serve yourself yard sale. Bargin with yourself. Place money in the can." When we got back, it did not look like any items were gone. Still, the can had six dollars in it!

A neighbor was driving by the day after our yard sale. He wondered if he could buy a particular book he was looking at but did not buy at the time. I told him that we carted them off to the town recycling center after we closed down the sale. He then asked, "The yard sale was for charity, wasn't it?" At that point, he passed over a $20 dollar bill.
