| I was deeply moved by a sermon in grade school by a sister from the Little Sisters of the Poor about charity. Her comments on "charity is not ... boastful" stuck with me. We always give anonymously. The church may think we give nothing, and we get no tax benefit, but I just can't get over her words and how true and right they felt to me. Probably short-sighted in a modern money-management sense, and maybe I'm taking it too far, but even posting this feels too boastful to me. |
