Helping Others Without Letting Them Know



With it coming up on the Christmas Season very soon, there are so many worthwhile charities that need our help. It's so hard to decide which to give to and sometimes the simplest act of giving to an individual in need can get forgotten.



One of my favorite charitable acts was one that my husband did not too long ago. We were in line at the grocery store and there was this little old man who had only a few items. Once the cashier rang the man's items up he counted out his change but he came up short. Now, we could have given the cashier the rest of the money, but my husband thought it might embarrass the elderly gent. So, he dropped a twenty dollar bill down on the floor next to the man and then bent down and picked it up and handed it to him. He told the older man that he must have dropped it. I'm sure the elderly man knew he hadn't dropped that much money, but he accepted it gratefully and was able to pay for his purchases and be on his way. That was my favorite charitable act and one that both my husband and I have repeated several times.
