Giving in Silence
Giving to others less fortunate is a noble gesture. Thousands of people do this every day, and the majority do so without anyone ever knowing. That is how it should be. If you are doing something for someone only for the accolades, or for what you may get in return, then you are missing out on the true meaning of giving.
Our society has changed drastically in the last 20-30 years. The media showcases the famous (or infamous) who all want to be in the spotlight, and social media allows anyone to proclaim what wonderful things they have done. It seems that there are many who don't want to give unless they can tell anyone listening that they have done so.
If you give anonymously to others who are less fortunate, you will be amazed how much you receive. There is no better feeling than knowing that what you have done may change someone's day or even their life. Feeling like a guardian angel is a wonderful thing, and it fills your heart with joy. And this is the greatest reward. Nothing more is needed in return.
We need to teach our children the art of giving. By doing so they will learn that no matter what they do or do not have, there is always someone else who has less, and there may be some small thing they can do to help. Teach them that the greatest gift they will receive from giving is knowing that they have done the good and noble thing.
May we all set the example for our children and give in silence.
