I went to the grocery store, cart in hand. I walked up and down every aisle. I looked for all the things I could find that were on sale, or a good price (in my mind). I grabbed noodles, and rice, and granola bars, and cookies, etc etc. When I went to the cashier, the total wasn't very much. To my surprise, I actually had enough cash in my wallet. As I left the store, I gave all the food, that I had just bought, to a man collecting food for the food bank.
It felt GREAT!
The man was overjoyed. What didn't seem like a lot, is quite the opposite to someone in need. The money I had in my wallet - my Tim Horton's money - was enough to buy bags of food for some of the less fortunate families, here in town. I give up my coffee and sandwiches for a week, and a family gets to eat. Period. Sometimes a little goes a long way.
...and boy does it ever feel good to give.
You should try it. :)
