We have some of the wealthiest cities in the US near me and I think most people would be shocked at the amount of money and time many of these people give to charity and church. Sure many don't, but at what I feel is a much higher rate then say the middle class they have a giving mindset. Part of that might be they can afford the money, but we all have the same number of hours in the day.
My neighbor was shocked when my kids and I shoveled her drive the other day and refused payment. She is a retired grade school teacher who is in her 90's. She needs a walker and and has a very hard time if there is any sort of snow or ice. This is the sort of easy giving back I love to do and have my kids help with. The key is not to allow them to be paid and make them understand we need to help others that can't do things for themselves. Sometimes the simplest thing will make someones day.
Hopefully these little lessons will stick with my girls into adulthood and they will be part of the beauty in the world.
