You've no doubt heard the saying to "Pay it Forward." It is a principle that I try to adhere to in my own life - do what kindnesses you can for other people without counting the cost and trust that somewhere down the way, when you need it, kindness will be extended to you.
A piece of religious mail I received today said "Pray it Forward." I like that idea! We should all pray for whoever we know that needs prayer. Sometimes, the thought comes into our mind that we should pray for them. Do it! Right then - offer up a quick prayer. Pray for the souls in purgatory who cannot pray for themselves. And trust that others will pray for you (and truly, who among us can't use more prayer?).
