The Rich giving to the Poor

This morning I read a few posts on "Ellen Degeneres's" board. People asking for her to take care of wishes they had for the holidays. There were some that were heart warming and some that were just plain greedy. Rich people refusing to live like the rest of us. Rich people not understanding what it's like to live with the bare minimum. Rich people finally losing their homes and being forced to live like the rest of the population. It sickens me to see them ask for more, when there are tons of people that are so much worse off then them and have always been worse off then them. Do you get the idea that I basically do not like rich people? I haven't met a rich person I could trust. Throughout my life I was always told they got to be rich by being that way, Selfish! That's why I am not rich I guess. I refuse to be selfish to those that truely need it.
True in life I have been back stabbed for being generous with the meesly portions I have been handed. I won't really say handed. I should say, for what I have worked for. I think being poor makes you more generous. It humblises you.
I rack my brain sometimes when I see what they have that is so useless. Just a piece of property. But to them it's worth having over helping someone have a nice place to rest their head.
If every rich person sponsored a poor person, this place would be so much more warm.
One day I watched "The Housewives of New York" and watched one of the characters in this depression state that things were so bad that this year she only got a $16,000.00 purse for her birthday. OMG ok besides being pissed off. My brain started cha-chinging how many rents could be paid with that. I myself would've found so much more satisfaction by walking up to someones door and paying their rent for them so they could stay where they are and use what ever monies they do have to put food on their tables for their families. It's the "Pay It Forward" effect that I so strongly believe in.
I have been raised to learn that those that are rich on earth will be poor in heaven and vice versa. So in exchange for being poor here. I will be wealthy eternely. I prefer it that way. I may not be rich in monies. But I will be rich in heart. Which I prefer.
The only way they will be rich in heaven is if they are giving of what they have here on earth. Most give nothing. Or give to tax deductable organizations. But see there they are getting something back monetarilly. The majority cannot just give expecting nothing in return.
Me, if I get a free turkey I give it to a neighbor. Me, if I get more then I need I too give that to a random neighbor. Just out of the blue. Just to know I helped them save on a meal fills me with love.
I see more people who have lost everything help people who have more. But it's not very often I see the selfish reverse their actions and give unexpecting of anything in return. I never see them give without a hitch. Whether it be they recieve monies back or profit from what they have given to. They seldom give without high expectations of their generous acts they place infront of God in hopes their alteriative motives are not noticed.. Blinded by knowing God knows all...duh..
There, That's my Bitch for the day... well so far anyways.. It's early...
But the moral of this story.. Is just give!.. Give without expectation because the payback of just knowing you did something for someone... is priceless..
Ok where the hell is "spellcheck" on here?
