charity.is.a.virtue

Charity is different things to different people.  For some, it may be lending a hand to those in need.  For others, it may be donating no-longer used items to their local Salvation Army.  And still others may view it as simply giving money to whichever organization they find fit.  For me, it is a vast combination of things that all come down to 1 thing:  love.  Agape = love = charity.  Charity is unconditional love and kindness towards others which is why it is a virtue. 
Virtues are thoughts and actions that consistently confirm a person's core values and beliefs.  They are good(ies) that people experience and strive for on a daily basis.  Virtues are important and should be practiced often within one's own life and in other's lives.
People feel happier inside when they act in virtuous ways throughout their day.
           (and even more important...)
Others are blessed by those who practice charity.

Let's share and celebrate our small moments.
Let's not hope for a better tomorrow, let's make a better tomorrow.
Let's bring forth the change we want to see in the world...together.
Let's bring forth the change we want to see within ourselves...together.

 Are you with me?

With Love.......
