Give of yourself to others is very rewarding.
Just helping to feed the less fortunate in a soup kitchen or making bag lunches for the homeless can nourish the soul.

Thanks for the info!
That’s a great idea to have a “World Food Day”. Perhaps it will make more people aware of the food shortages in the world. We have lots of food shelfs in this area, where people can donate food to families that need it. They have had a huge increase this year of families needing assistance, because of job losses and the increase in gas and oil prices. Thanks for the contest!
