As a parent of three little girls (ages 8, 7, 6), I am often saying to them – “Share! You need to share.” Unfortunately, as we get older and wiser, we need reminded to share. Yes, there are government programs, and even charitable organizations that “share” to help others. But I am talking about personal sharing – where we connect one on one with another individual or family and take time, and some of our resources to help them. It could be as simple as watching someone’s children while they run an errand. It could be using your talents to help someone fix their car or a problem in their house. Some people are always waiting for the government or someone else to do something – I hope you are not one of them. I hope you take time out this week to share a little bit of your wealth – whether it is your time, talent, or treasure – with someone who has a need.
“He who is faithful in a very little thing is faithful also in much; and he who is unrighteous in a very little thing is unrighteous also in much. If therefore you have not been faithful in the use of unrighteous wealth, who will entrust the true riches to you?” (Bible, Luke 16:10-11).

just to clarify: gov’t programs don’t share, they take property by force from one and transfer it to another.
Thanks for clarifying. You are right – I guess i was just in a nice mood.
