I recently had a chance to help to raise money for a canned food drive for a local organization. I stood in front of a super market and asked for donations of money or canned foods. A lady walked by and said that she could not help us and that she herself was a family in need.
I believe that no matter how little you give back you should still give. God is watching. Even if it is one can of food. You are saying "This is all I have. I want to help."
I met a man recently who was down on his luck and only had a few dollars left to his name. He is a realtor and had not sold a house. A friend suggested that he go to church and give all that he has and pray on it. Within the week he sold two houses and received several clients.
When we let go and let God, things happen.
It is easier to hoard when you feel like you do not have much. Give and you will receive.
Giving is from the heart. Make it a practice to give something to someone everyday, no matter how small. Practice this everyday and you will see that you are getting something in return.
