What does Charity mean to you?

• Kindness; by being kind-hearted, thinking kindly of others?
• Acting with kindness, performing good actions with good intention, alms-giving, doing good turns and more generally doing as one would be done by?
• Giving things, such as donations, unwanted items, unused items and most especially, time.
• Caring for those in need, not because you have to, but because you want to.
• Thinking lovingly of others?
• Universal love, unselfishness, sharing.
• Sympathizing; being sympathetic and listening to those who have a need.
• Is it just having one’s heart in the right place and the ability to see all as a reflection of oneself?

Surely you can add to the above, but they are all just part of a ‘whole feeling’ from that which comes straight from a heart that is unselfish, a heart alight with Divine love.
