God grant to all of us the power and strength to be people of integrity, and the insight and wisdom to avoid being led into the snares of the dishonest.
Marvin J. AshtonPerhaps the greatest charity comes when we are kind to each other, when we donโt judge or categorize someone else, when we simply give each other the benefit of the doubt or remain quiet. Charity is accepting someoneโs differences, weaknesses, and shortcomings; having patience with someone who has let us down; or resisting the impulse to become offended when someone doesnโt handle something the way we might have hoped. Charity is refusing to take advantage of anotherโs weakness and being willing to forgive someone who has hurt us. Charity is expecting the best of each other
