Last year my dh and i drove around giving bums 20$ on thanksgiving. I think we spent 100.00 $ but the looks and smiles they gave us were priceless, we do it every year. I dont mind giving them money, i do mind when they are acting like they are homless, but i think you can tell the difference and even then you are doing a good deed and they will need to answer to god later. I have a couple homeless people i always give money too, they are always by the freeway..one is a old lady..about 60 i feel so bad for i can not help myself i usually give her 40$ i think to myself thats someone grandma,mom,aunt.... and i get so hurt inside. She always thanks me or she says "life is hard" i can not help myself feel sorry for them. I have a wonderful life my dh and i feel blessed we think if you can help out someone you should. I have never seen a homeless person with a pet, but if i did i would help them out.
