When do you feel that life is at its best? Is it when you have no health issues. Or you have the job of your dreams. Maybe it's when you have had no problems of any kind for a long time.
My opinion: I think life is at its best for me when myself and my family are healthy, bills can be paid with no problem, there's food in the cupboards and refrigerator, and there's love all around.
I know what its like not to have some of that. I used to live in low income housing and could barely support myself and my son. When we lived there we knew there were other people just like us that couldn't afford things and we tried to help the best we could. Even though we had a hard time (even with county help) we still took a few things from our cupboards and donated it to area food shelters. These things were not out dated or whatever. These non-parishable items were things we bought for us, but we gave them away to help others. Any time I can I try to help those in need just like others helped me and my son for so many years. I will continue to do this because I have been there. (If you have never seen the movie "Pay It Forward" try)
If you know someone that "doesn't have" you can help. However, if they don't like to receive help then maybe try this--take a paper bag and fill it with non-parishable food items and drop if off on their door step with a note that says "To You at their address". Don't put their name or your name on it or anything. I know a lot of people that get upset when they "get help". I know its their pride or they may feel embarrassed, but dropping it off without telling them will do a couple things. 1. They will get the help they need. 2. They won't know who did it. 3. You helped someone in need. That is such a great feeling.
I hope you and your family are healthy, well fed, and financially comfortable. May God bless you and yours.
Have a glorious day.
