I always carry at least $3 in my car and also in my pocket. I save it for the person who asks if I can “spare some 36 ”. Smiling and making eye contact, I always 37 very cheerfully with a comment like, “Yes, I would love to” 38 “It would be my pleasure”. And I give them the 39 . Then I 40 it with my next $3 for the next person. I 41 spend this money myself. I honor the idea that it belongs to the 42 of the next person who asks for it. Three dollars is a small 43 , yet it means a lot to the person who might only expect 25 cents, 44 when delivered with respect to them. I have also formed the habit of carrying 45 I think the needy may be able to use. I carry hats, socks, gloves, and an umbrella. Recently I 46 some care packages for the homeless. It 47 to me that things like band-aids, toothpaste, aspirin, combs, as well as food would be of use. I imagined that they would need things that are not easy to 48 , so I chose plastic or paper containers. The folks who 49 them were delighted. But I think it’s not just that I give them things that 50 . It’s that I see them for the beautiful ray of lights that they are. I know that they are 51 expressions of God and that this is how they are at the current time, not who they are. I am 52 to also give a hug and a smile with the money. And I always remember it is they who bless me with the 53 to be kind! What a joy! I felt 54 good and proud of what I had done. See, that’s the added 55 about completing acts of kindness —you feel fantastic.
