On Giving

The rich man is not the one who has much, but the one who gives much. For what one gives away, he keeps for all eternity.  St. John Chrysostom

If N were to read the above, or I ask him what he thought about it, he'd probably say it was a big conspiracy to get people to be nice/give away their money.  And then he'd call them, "suckers."  N and I have different perspectives on charity.  

I wonder what this lady below would say to my love.  She'd probably call him a fool.  This woman gave to children she didn't know.  She invested in their future.  Hopefully, they pay it forward.  If even one of them does, it was worth it. 

She's an inspiration.  She is a true steward to the human race.
