Giving to the Needy ~
This teaching is more about how you give than what you give. Don't make it a big deal. Listen - you don't give to the needy, either monetarily or with your time, in order to get praise from man. You give because it's the right thing to do.
In our country we have been so blessed, we have so much & we are called to help others. So, look for ways to help. How can you share your time, your money, your talents with those in need? When we give back, it fills some need within us. It gives us a sense of accomplishment and joy. However, if you're only giving so other's will pat you on the back - well you've gotten all the reward you're ever going to get.
Remember, it's all about your motivation. Why are you helping? Is it to get something in return, or is it because it's the right thing to do? Get out there and help people. Just remember to check your pride at the door.
