It's Better To Give Than Receive

By Jon • March 21, 2013

Last night I saw a homeless man with two dogs. Normally I would just pass by without any thought. However seeing them two hungry pups made me sad. Instead of giving the man a couple of dollars, I ran into McDonalds and bought some sandwiches for the man and the pups. The man thanked me and wiped tears from his eyes. Just think about the next time you are having a bad day, things could be a lot worse. I never really understood the phrase "it's better to give than receive" until today.
