I grew up in poverty. I came from a family of 10 who often had little to eat, grew up with no heat. I try now to give whenever God puts it on my heart to help others. I believe in random acts of kindness. I have paid for people's groceries, paid for other's meals, given when I don't have it to give & felt blessed to be able to do so.
