It makes me feel good and warm inside to give to others, things we have plenty of, and others do not.\u00a0 I learned we should always give to others.\u00a0 The women&#8217;s home asked for some of the items we brought to them. The woman need these items, because they don&#8217;t have them, or can&#8217;t get them. For us it is easy to get them. That is the difference. Some day we may be in their situation.\u00a0 It fits into my Christian Faith when you think people have things like shampoo and learn they do not, it reminds me to think about people other than yourself. Even people you don&#8217;t know. God loves all people equally. You should try to love others as yourself. Thats what God wants you to do. Because God gives us that love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Samantha Chalupa<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\"
