Pizza pizza.

Tonight the roomie and I grabbed a $5 pizza for dinner...yum yum. On our way out of the pizza shop with our trophy, a seemingly-homeless lady came up to me and said she was trying to get some money together for a pizza herself. I honestly had no cash on me, but offered her a slice of ours instead. I got a big smile and a "God bless you!" as she took her slice. Not a big thing; honestly, I wonder if I should have just gone back in and bought her her own pizza. But it did feel good to give, even just a little bit.

One of my best friends gave me a devotional book for Christmas: Inspiration for Girlfriends by Ellen Miller. To be honest, I've never been a big fan of these often-cheesy and fluffy devo books, but I've been loving reading Miller's "Truth Nuggets" every day. And on January 6, the entry opened with these words:

"I believe we rob ourselves of joy by not giving something away--every day."

So this week, that's my goal: to give something away every day. I'm not quite sure what this will look like all week long, but I'm excited for the challenge, excited to bless some people in some small (or maybe not so small...?) ways. We'll see what God does with this one...
