What would you do with a thousand dollars?

Weeks ago Oprah gave everyone in her audience a thousand dollars and told them that they had to give it to someone else! She didn't care what they did with it as long as it was spent or gave to someone other than themselves! A few people donated it to church's and few people had fund raisers with the money to make more money, but this one woman decided to just go to a grocery store and hand out the money! She approached one lady, and handed her around $200.00, the lady bursted in to tears and started explaining how, she was raising her grandkids cause her daughter was in a terrible accident and there was no one to take care of her kids.

My point is............ we never know what's going on in lives of the person who just passed us in the grocery store, or on the street, so if I had 1000.00 that I had to use on anything or anyone but myself I would want to know everyone's story! I would ask people who needed the money to tell me why they needed the money. I can only imagine the stories I would hear.

Now, why would I want to know about other peoples problems and why they would need the thousand dollars? Well, I believe that just having someone to care is enough to change someone's situation completely. How often did you just need someone to talk to but there was nobody there, and a lot of times people won't open up to you but if they thought they could get 1000.00 just by telling me their story I am betting they would.

So what would you do thousand dollars if someone gave it to you and said you have to spend this on anyone or anything but yourself? Would you donate it to charity? Would you give it to a needy family? Or would you simply leave one unsuspecting waiter/waitress a very large tip?

Until Next Time, Be Safe, Have Fun, Listen to Z-Rock, Love ya

God Bless

I would probably get my uncles truck fixed so he wouldn't have to borrow my grandmothers because it's to small for him and he has alot of doctor's appt.'s at the VA clinic.
