Mother Mary states that charity is part of your spiritual growth
Sometimes during the hustle and bustle of our busy life style ( especially during the holidays) we forget the truly important part of our spiritual growth and the meaning of "Christmas". Today my wife and myself were running to the various stores intent on going from point "A" to point "B". As we were pulling up in front of a store, this disheveled elderly lady was digging in the various garbage containers looking for cans. Getting out of the car and running into the store, I quickly forgot the disturbing scene. Upon leaving the store the lady was digging through another newly acquired garbage can, when my wife and I looked at each other and said that's just terrible. Other people were walking around her totally ignoring the disheartening scene. As our eyes were watching the elderly lady, a warm feeling came over us and together in the same time we looked at each other and said we should some how help her. We didn't have much cash on us and I don't think she was able to except credit cards, so we gave most of our cash we had on us, to the lady. Merry Christmas !we said to her as she excepted the cash, and smiled !as we drove away to our next destination. Did we save her from future strive ? probably not, but today she didn't have to dig through no one else's garbage.
During this Holiday, don't forget the true meaning of Christmas.
Believe in Angels !!!
