Anonymously fantastic

Generosity. It's pretty awesome. I love being generous. Knowing I'm helping someone's life a little bit means a lot. I always wish I could do more. I think anonymous generosity is pretty awesome. You're able to help someone out without expecting any thanks. The only thanks you get it is seeing or hearing how what you did impacted someone's life.
Now when I'm on the receiving end of someone's anonymous generosity...it just makes everything pretty great : )
The only sucky thing is you can't thank the person who did it for you, but otherwise...it's pretty neat knowing someone thought about you and was so generous but does not want recognition for it.
I came into work on Wednesday and there as an envelope addressed to me. My name and work address were typed up and taped to the unaddressed envelope. The only clue I have is that it was mailed from Spokane. But even the distinguishing last three numbers of the zip code were cut off near the stamp. But that's okay. I understand the reasoning and the thoughtfulness of the anonymous generosity so I just humbly say thank you :) Anyway, in this envelope was a typed up letter that simply said "Now you don't have to think about groceries this week! P.S. Buy some goodies! Love you!" and two $25 gift cards to Safeway.
I almost cried right then and there. Just knowing that someone understands that we'll pay bills before we'll buy food is great. I'm so excited to go grocery shopping this weekend. It'll settle things knowing that after we spend all our money on bills (and still won't have everything paid) we'll have food to eat. Praise the Lord! :)
