Charity to me is very personal and I’ve always believed in anonymity as much as possible. There is a special joy in giving, and often that joy is realized at the very moment we decide to make the charitable gesture; however the secret is to hold onto that joy throughout the process, as others have stated clearly “non-conditionally”. This is were much additional joy can be achieved.
I’ve always taught my children,
to whom much is given, much is required. If I could take one thing and have it instilled into the hearts of my children, it would be to have a ‘serving heart’. I love to see my children take the things that we have been blessed with and utilize it to serve others
As for down syndrome children, I have some special relationships in my life too. These kids are a tremendous source of positive energy filled with joy and it is more often than not that we can learn from these children more than we could ever provide.
There's business, family/friends and charity. A wise man taught me to keep them all separate.
