Charity Indeed Begins at Home
Most of us must have heard the famous saying, “charity begins at home.” But how many of us really care about it. It is a strange human behavior to advice on things that they never care to do themselves. Same is the case with charity. With every given chance we are ready to give a speech on the importance of charity, but we never really do something that will help others. However, recently I came across a person who believes in doing what she says.
She is Carol, a friend of mine who is getting married next month. Yesterday, when we were deciding about the favors that we should purchase for her wedding, she came with an excellent idea. She said that she is not interested in presenting wedding favors to the wedding guests. Instead, she will spend the money kept aside for favors in purchasing the items for charity.
When her family members objected, she asked how many of the guests in the wedding really care about wedding favors. Many of them will just keep it in the cupboard and will never remember it again. In fact the guests will be more than happy to know that they are making a charitable donation in return of the wedding favor.
Although this small gesture of her may not change someone’s life miraculously, but this is a perfect example of how we can change our small actions to bring a difference. Participating in charity is a very easy job, all you need is to change the way you think. You may not be an expert in boiler repair, but you can spare some hours in weekend to visit an orphanage and feed the children with delicious homemade food or help a children in your neighbor get admission in a school he/she likes. This may not change the entire society, but it will bring a difference to someone’s as well as your life.
