We all know something about charities and foundations perhaps.

Once you are out from underneath the debt prison, you are in Dave Ramsey’s step 7 and can live and give like no one else. God begins to work through you and you feel inspired. You may find that you love to give little bits in other ways.

Here are some ideas:

*”Free Valet” at hospitals and restaurants. I love to surprise them with a little something. $3, $5, $10 or more if they’re really hustling or because it’s cold or rainy.

*Lunch for those providing you service all day. For example, at my allergist’s office, it was easier and much more fun to buy lunch for the nurse who would be fetching my lunch during an all-day immunotherapy rush.

*Tip at the beauty school. I really love to surprise students and instructors with a $5, $10 or $20. The look on their face is priceless.

*Your time -taking a call or texting someone who is in need and hurting.

*A compliment. “Wow! What a pretty colour on you!” or “great shoes!” ( to say I like your ‘x’ puts emphasis on you).

*Blood. Like milk, blood expires and the need is ALWAYS there.

What creative ways do you have to give?
