Charity - Yalto

“Love is not patronizing and charity isn't about pity, it is about love. Charity and love are the same -- with charity you give love, so don't just give money but reach out your hand instead.” – Mother Teresa Charity at Christmastime hardly ends the season. It continues with enduring goodwill, elevates caring, amity. Celebrate humility from simple gestures of our love for one another.
