One of my 2011 Goals

I read this on one of my favorite blogs 320 Sycamore. I want to work on having more of this in my life for the New Year.

Real Charity is not something you give away;
it is something that you acquire and make a part of yourself. And when the virtue of Charity becomes implanted in your heart,you are never the same again. It makes the thought of being a basher repulsive.

Perhaps the greatest Charity comes from when we are kind to each other, when we don't judge or catergorize someone else, when we give each other the benefit of the doubt or remain quiet Charity is accepting someones differences weaknesses and shortcomings having patience with someone who has let us down or resisting the impulse to become offended when someone doesn't handle something the way we would have hoped.

Charity is refusing to take advantage of anothers weakness and being willing to forgive someone who has hurt us. Charity is expecting the best of each other.

I hope to work on this for the New Year and not eating sugar for the month. Wish me luck:)
