AN INCREDIBLE GESTURE!
Hi guys! I just had something occur that almost knocked the wind out of me, and felt I had to share it! When I logged-in this morning there was a "Private Message" from someone on this forum, whom will remain anonymous so as to not embarrass them, but I will definitely share their gesture toward me. The message said that a Gold Membership for this forum had been purchased for me, and absolutely NOTHING was expected in return! This gesture in itself is incredibly generous of this individual, but there's more! Prior to reading the message, I had posted in a topic somewhere that I was just waiting for some money to arrive so I could purchase a membership, and then I read the message! Incredible coincidence? I doubt it, more like Divine intervention if you ask me! I have no idea what prompted this individual to do this kind thing for me, but it certainly is in the spirit of what this brother/sisterhood is all about! I wish to publicly thank the person who did this wonderful thing for a fellow member, and I will do my best to "Pay it Forward"! So, thanks to, only you and I know who you are, your kindly act has filled me with gratitude! Mark!

This is just another example of why I really do love being a part of this great organization.
At the heart of it I believe we come here to learn, to laugh, to share, to help one another
and even lift each other up in prayer in time of need. God bless the member that did this
for you Mark and God bless all of us here on AAPK.

Re: AN INCREDIBLE GESTURE!
Those of us who have been reading the thread you are referring to know who this is and all I can say is "Well Done". Now it is up to you to "pay it forward".

Congrats, Mark.
I was the recipient of a similar gesture several months ago, only I didn't receive a PM telling me about it. One day I happened to notice a Supporting Member banner under my avatar. I still have no idea who made the generous contribution, but it is certainly appreciated.

Re: AN INCREDIBLE GESTURE!
Thanks J.P.! I'm still in a state of shock over the whole thing, but it's a good state to be in! Some 1st-Rate people frequent this forum, and for the "most part" one's, perhaps they'll eventually pick-up on the vibe! BTW, I really enjoy your posts!

Re: AN INCREDIBLE GESTURE!
Such as this makes an ol' redneck's heart feel good about some things! A lot of people and institutions in our upside down world could learn a lot from the actions of many AAPK members.
Great read!
