It’s the end of the year and my mailbox is full of solicitations from non-profits seeking end-of-year donations. The solicitations are becoming more and more beautiful and heart wrenching. I want to give to them all and I feel a mixture of guilt and sadness when I throw all of the pretty paper away because I know that at the other end of each and every plea is someone profoundly in need—a person, often even a child. With every solicitation, I am reminded that there but for the grace of God go I. But I have limited resources of money and time and I just cannot give to them all.
