Sharing Blessings
Together with the growing number of people are the booming problems in our society. One of these problems is poverty. Looking at our own situation in our own country, poverty has been blasting off and has been the root of all crises that we are encountering at present. This time, we are called to think of others and forget about ourselves. One of the solutions that were done to alleviate this problem of poverty is the charitable institutions. These are nonprofit organizations that are geared in helping the less fortunate ones and are aiming to help certain groups of people in supplementing their needs and achieving their goals. Ideally, they work together, not for fame, honor, power, nor money but out of love.Since then, and even in any religion, we are told to be charitable. There are even three theological virtues namely, charity or love, faith and hope. Love is the greatest of all. In our world today, a number of people have already forgotten to live with these virtues. People have been so attached to the earthly things that are, why sometimes it is difficult for us to be charitable. It is not an obligation to help others instead a virtue that should be inculcated in both our minds and hearts. A famous proverb says “Give until it hurts”. God prefers a poor man giving all that he owns than a rich one sparing big donations yet is only an excess from his riches. It has also been said that it is better to give to those people who cannot give something back in return than to give and expect that something would come back.
We have a lot of charitable institutions worldwide, which plays a very big help and shares as necessary benefits to those who are needy. . In donating in certain foundations, we should also consider those you can transparently see the effects of what you had donated. There are different types of charitable institutions; there are those that help the elders, orphans, the sick people, those that aim for excellence in sports, scientific, education, social and spiritual missions. Some people chose to help certain foundations that are of most near in their heart and are the most important to them. There are a lot of ways, as of how we can donate to these charities. One way is to search in the website for charitable foundations and when you can choose you may contact them through the contact numbers posted. You may also ask the parish or the municipal for a list of these charitable institutions of which you may help. .
If not mistaken there are also a lot of companies who are using charitable foundations in practicing tax evasion, one of the techniques in maximizing the company's tax savings. This should not be the purpose in helping because intentions do really matter. We should not just donate for the sake of tax deduction or any other interest but should heartily give as an aid to our unfortunate fellowmen.
We may be encountering economic crisis, but if we work together for the betterment of everybody this crisis would unconsciously turn out to be a blessing and not a problem. This may open our hearts that what we really need is LOVE.
