Humbling Lessons and Resulting Charity

i give because i can it makes me smile more than i know i inspire another to do the same hopefully the gift of charity will grow when i was lugging a plastic junk bag and a worn backpack, i thought i was worst off than others i thought only of myself and cursed my sisters and my brothers i used profane language to whine, complain, and moan wishing that i could win the lottery or even be approved for any type of loan however when i would walk into a library or store, i would repeatedly witness one that was struggling more signs upon signs were waved wildly in my face yet i chose defiance and sung 'me me me' all over the place one day i saw a man one cold day after a particular plasma donation he asked me if i could get him something to eat or just a cup of water my head told me to tell this man to go somewhere but God told me a story through this man and disciplined my heart i go inside and ordered my food like i would normally do i went back to the man and gave him a cup of chili and the cup of water he asked for he immediately began to cry and thank me passionately for what i did for him it was then that i was humbled with a lesson like never before ever since then i have taken many a look at myself and my life i realize through similar happenings that i did not have it so darn bad after all i hope what i continue to give will save a like or inspire a smile....as long as i am breathing....and all the while....
