we were taught that charity is a great value, when i was young i used to feel that the toy, suit, shoes, book, or food i can give to poor is a great thing...
but as i became older, not a child anymore , i feel what i give is so valueless, idle, cheesy....
what is the value of giving a shoe or suit, according to level of poverty most of people suffer from...
Sometimes the more i give, the more i feel i give none, there are still hundreds of things to each family, in order to make them feel they had enough..
I am not so happy as before with giving, feeling i did so little, nearly worthless with percentage of what i am really able to give..
Who said that just children need angels to talk to and transfer for them messages of Allah....??
We need angels too.......The world is so cruel for those who wants to keep their innocence...

Before i answer you, i want you to reward yourself with a cup of coffee or some tea, or any drink you prefer, for the " valueless " things you gave as you call them....
Go have your drink while you are reading a warm book, and i am waiting for you, but try to think more deeper in the feelings you had when you got those things..
Think of how you used them, and in what purposes ...
Think of the benefits others had, when you had those things..
...........................................................................................................................

Now my dear let's see what you have donated..
Some glasses, suit, handmade roses, shoes, blanket, a perfume you didn't like, dishes, and some money...
i want you dear now to think of each one of these things in the following steps:
How did you feel when you received it?
How did you use it?
What were the memories connected to it?
In which occasion did you get it?
Did you pray , and thank Allah for his gift?
Did you feel you had it in time you just needed it?
How many persons were affected when you had that thing?
How many benefits were gained when you used it?
Was it easy for you or not to abandon it and another one use or enjoy it?
................................................................................................................
Honey, you remember when you had much work and studies to do, going from a place to another to do many duties you had....
having a new shoes, made you feel you are still ready to go to more places and continue , and that your feet deserves what is best to comfort her for the effort she help you to make..
The glass you got to feel more joyfull while you are drinking your tea at work, or when you are watching the street through the window, helped you to feel better , and enjoy taste of your tea more, while you were thinking that you are enjoying more and want to do something very positive, very good...
The balnket that helped you to sleep good in a long cold night, then you were able to go active and refreshed to your work after a healthy sleep..
Do you want me to remind you more???
The perfume you were so grateful to have as a gift from your friend after long months of being pressured, facing many problems, trying to be giving and supporting for others....
you were so happy of having it, although you didn't like the perfume and didn't use it, but it was good ffrom you to sacrifice a sweet memory to make another person pleased..
Perfume for poor means, joy , happiness, feeling a sense of beauty in their rough life...
The money you donate can equal for a poor person meals for a family after long days suffering from hunger, or a medicine for someone ill from days and can't get up from his bed, or a hope to go for a sweet little picnic to feel alive like other people, even for one day...
......................................................................................
DO YOU REALLY THINK THAT THIS IS ALL WORTHLESS??
Dear, do you know what is really the main problem??
We no more think and feel deeper in things and events around us, that we accustomed everything , whether good or bad, whether is precious or really worthless...
Think deeper in everything and you will find life is much different...
