No One Is Too Poor to Give
When Teresa,a widow with four young children,saw a notice from her church for all members to gather to deliver presents and food to a  16 family,she took $10 out of her savings jar and bought some ingredients to make three dozen  17 .She got to the church parking lot just in time to join the convoy going to the home that was to  18 the people’s help.
The route was  19 ,and she was astonished when the cars pulled up in front of her house.When the pastor saw her,he said,“ We  20 expected you to join us ,
Teresa.We know it’s been a great  21 since your husband died,and we all wanted
to  22  you.”
Although she was   23  being the object of charity,Teresa didn’t want to  24 anyone so she  25 said,“ Well,at least I can share these cookies with our    26 .”
This parable teaches us that no one is too  27  to help others and that true charity is rooted in love and passion.  28   of spirit is worse than economic distress.Teresa’s story  29 us that very few of us give as much as we could and should.

point where one must  32 something that is desired.
You can start out easy.Take whatever  33 you are thinking of giving to charity,then   34  it.If that’s too much, increase it by 50 percent instead.The  35 is to stretch yourself.It will mean a lot to those you help,but it will mean as much to your heart.
