    A friend of mine would go out of his way to buy simple goods from poor people at high prices, even though he did not need them. When somebody asked him why he does it, he says:

    “It is a charity wrapped with dignity.”

    It's good business sense to look for the least expensive merchandise or service. But it's not always the best 'heart-sense'. Others have to make a living too. We need to balance compassion with our purchasing power, and find ways to help each other.


    It costs nothing to give someone dignity.


    There is no exercise better for the heart than reaching down and lifting people up. - John Holmes


    As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands:

    One for helping yourself, the other for helping others.


    It's not how much we give, but how much love we put into giving. -Mother Theresa


    When we give cheerfully and accept gratefully, everyone is blessed. -Maya Angelou


    If you want others to be happy, practice compassion.

    If you want to be happy, practice compassion. -Dalai Lama


    Let us all strive to make to make charity wrapped with dignity part of our daily lives.

    We are blessed so we can be a blessing.
