Hi Friends,
It is touching that many people have come forward to help the victims of Typhoon Haiyen and other disasters. But if you look at your own backyard you may find pockets of people needing help with food, clothes, a roof over their head. More people are becoming richer but the less well to do are being left behind.
It is always wonderful when someone thinks of others instead of themselves. I admire people who are able to feel for others. Not just talk about it but do something positive. But I feel that the world has become more selfish and inward looking. People want to become rich at the expense of others. They want to back stab others at work. They want to make use of people especially friends for their own selfish gain. If each person can think of helping others instead of just themselves, the world will be a better place. Help the poor who will be grateful for even $1 they receive to buy a meal or clothes. Donate food and clothes to your neighborhood charity, to Third World countries or to your neighbors (if they are in need of help). Instead, of buying the expensive "IT" bag or 100th pair of shoes, you can give that money to charity. The more you give....the more you get in return. Look at Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, Oprah Winfrey, Tiger Woods, and many others. It does not matter if you give $1 or $1 million dollars. You will be a better person by doing that and the person receiving will be happy and it will bring a smile to their face whether young or old.
We should be charitable on a day to day basis. But we should especially be Charitable This Christmas and New Year Season because we have the propensity to be extravagant with clothes, food, drinks and useless gifts.Please spare a thought for the less fortunate before you over indulge.
God Bless! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Love All Serve All!
Cheers,
Mark
