Charity

For many people charity means donating time, money or something else to another individual, organization or cause. Many people don’t know but America was built on the concept of charity – ordinary people helping others in times of need. How many times have you been charitable without expecting some reward, payback or tax break? Charity to me means sacrificing myself to help someone in a situation different – not always worse from myself. Do I lend that friend 5$ for gas or do I use it for tobacco? Di I give up a day with friends to visit peers or friends shut in due to illness or disability? There are ways each of us can show charity every single day. It means stepping out of my own mess long enough to give my attention to another. I can promise you that if you gave one act of charity a day you would be a happier and healthier individual. So my challenge for you today is to show an act of charity with no strings attached. Did it change your day?
