Totally in agreement here. It's a part of development of character. Might not do you any good today but some day in the future you will realize small decisions you make would be affected about the things you gave back to the community.
My Dad use to take me to feed the poor. We called it street feeding. I use to do that a lot on my saturdays and I can say that if I did not go through that experience as a young kid, I'd probably be a spoiled adult right now. Even worse if I was ungrateful for every curve ball life threw at me and so full of myself.
Everyone has those tendencies, but doing things for the community would reduce those tendencies to say the least. Cheers! Just my 5 cents worth.
Thank yo so much. Glad you could share your experience here with me. God Bless!
