''Do not stand on a high pedestal and take 5 cents in your hand and say, "here, my poor man", but be grateful that the poor man is there, so by making a gift to him you are able to help yourself.It is not the reciever that is blessed, but it is the giver.Be thankful that you are allowed to exercise your power of benevolence and mercy in the world, and thus become pure and perfect.'' Swami Vivekananda |
My older brother (20 years old) picked me up from a dance the other night.
In his car were two HUGE barbie toys. I saw the receipt. The total: $456.
I asked him who they were for. He told me that they were for a terminally ill girl at the hospital he works at. As he told me her story, I started to cry.
His undying thoughtfulness GMH! Thanks Kev.
