2So when you give to the needy, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be praised by men. Truly I tell you, they already have their reward. 3But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.…

Nurse I think we talked about the whole giving & telling others that you gave thing before. Overall I agree the reason people should give should not be for selfish reasons, but at the same time I think if people do hear that others give it could encourage more people to do so.

But its really all in the way you do it. No one should go around and work it in every conversation they have "oh yeah I give to _________", but if its a situation when there is an opportunity to seek out others to give then its cool if someone says "I don't usually advertise this, but I give ____________ and it would be helpful if others will do so".

I think I am getting old. I actually pay attention to the comments others make and find myself thinking "I don't understand why people have to make comments like this" then I realize its the OT.
