Food Bank and a Rock

Thursday, July 1st 2010

They are having a food drive at the office to benefit the Oregon Food Bank and it was announced that if we bring in 5 cans of food, we can wear jeans today and tomorrow. This is something we all get excited about and I think about 98% of us brought food in today!

Then, on my lunch break I was driving through a store parking lot looking for a space to park. I got my hopes up when I saw one right away, but as I neared it, I noticed a fairly large rock right about where my tires would drive over. I didn't want to get a flat tire for a good parking spot (although sometimes I might risk that if I was really desperate) so I kept going until I found one nearby.

I almost walked past it, but I thought again- Why don't I pick up the rock so someone else can park here? Or so the next person who pulls in without seeing it won't damage their tires!

And there it went- in the garbage. Have you ever thrown a rock in the garbage? It just doesn't feel right. Oh well, no big deal!

Peace :)
