Discuss what it means to be rich in deed.
I believe that means to be rich in deeds is to have a life that you are giving and impacting others. Are you using your time, treasure, and talents to help others? I believe those qualities make us rich indeed. Being compassionate, understanding, and helping others when they need it makes our lives rich. When you give to others, it often gives you something back that money can not buy. Helping others and seeing a smile on their face or helping them when they are struggling is priceless.

In November, before covid would give back to the homeless in my area. We would put together care packages, socks, food, a couple of dollars, and snacks. Then we put them all together and go downtown and pass them out. We would take our children out with us to pass them out. I remember my daughter coming to me one year and asking if she would do it because it was something that she loved to do. I was so thankful my daughter was happy to give back to others. Now, she is a college sophomore and attending school for Social Work. My heart is happy that she wants to continue to give back.

I believe that being “rich in deed” simply means to be genuinely kind and compassionate. It is the part inside of us that has a desire to help others and spread kindness. Being rich in deed means to be selfless and to put others first without a reward or personal gain.

An experience I have of becoming “rich in deed” was one I did volunteer work at a thanksgiving event last year. The event handed out lots of different types of food to those in need throughout the community. It was such a great experience and event and we had over a hundred volunteers and several hundred community members come to get food. I was able to have very meaningful interactions with those around me and had great conversations with members of the community that I still remember and cherish today.
