[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 326489, member: 6546"] Thank you, everyone-- Your opinions on this matter helped more than you know....and you are right, it is a bit of an "embarassment" issue--especially for husband. husband was the one who answered the door when the church women stopped by, and he came back in the house shaking his head saying 'I can't BELIEVE" they gave us all this food....' and then when he saw the cash, he was ready to go chase those ladies down and force them to take it back. I stopped him, thinking it would be rude to refuse the gift (especially because I am sure it is part of their holiday charity fund)...but husband was unconvinced....so I offered to post the story here so that he could see what others thought of the situation. After reading the reponses, he has agreed to "Pay it forward" when times are better for us... So thank you so much for weighing in! And we are thinking that we will take some of the money and buy an "angel" gift for a needy children here in town... I always feel bad if I can't afford to do something like that at the holidays, and we were going to have to skip it this year....and now I can help someone else after all...so this is a double blessing! :happy: --DaisyFace [/QUOTE]
