I've received this before and like before it came with conditions for a wish to come true dependent on how many people I was willing to pass it along to.
It seems a message of "unconditional" love or acceptance as this suggests shouldn't be used to blackmail the recipients to forward it on to others. So I simply offer this for it's own value with the conditions omitted. Forward if you wish to pass along something spiritual.

thanks for sharing

as you know

people like us do this type of thing quite often

as was done for us



the other day it was 2 guys outside the taco bell resting in the shade

my kid is 17 and when i ordered the extra food in the drive thru she knew who it was for and was ready to hand it out when we turned the corner

because of people like you/us she has been doing stuff like this since she was born and never thinks twice about it.

i am so grateful to have learned to 'listen' and 'obey' so that i could show her how to be.
(crying)
imagine if i only had what i used to have to teach her?
(sobbing)

gratitude makes ya do stuff other people find weird dunno

xxhug
