Each and every one as noble a gesture as could ever be asked.
My ask for this takeaway is, in addition to the above that already fills your hearts and helps so many, take some time to ponder subtle, new and creative ways that you can be the fourth philanthropist and find a way to help get the keys for someone who’s guard is fast asleep.
The simple fact is we never know what someone else is going through. Their primary needs for food and shelter may be met, but there are so many that are needing nourishment of the soul these days.
These unfortunate ones aren’t always easy to spot however, so the best way to make the most impact is to do right by all, that way none are missed by your light.
Touching just one life with the right key, be it the right comment to a flustered cashier or helping someone with their bags to the car, may be enough of an offering to show them that there is some good still left in this world. Enough so that they themselves become a torch bearer for their days forward.
The impact of our encounters we may never know, but the intention of a kind heart will be on the lips of many.
