What do you think motivated you to do that? Was it love of fellow man or were you performing God's service? I realize the answer can be both, but what was your more important motivation for providing the water and pizza?Actually, we gave away the pizza and water for free.
I lead with my heart. I empathize with others, use my experience, and act where my heart tells me I need to. My philosophy is that we must be in service to one another because where we do not fill needs, often people go without. If we do our part, maybe we can get them through a night, a month, a year with help. We'll look around us for people who need it, complete strangers. We can do our best never to drop the ball and be there for them then we have served a higher purpose.
Each act of help is a celebration of humanity. Mammals are on this planet to nurture--it is what makes us different from all others. It leads to compassion and emulation and learning. Bats will rub each other's bellies when they have too much blood so they will share. Birds must call out to their flock that they have found food or they risk the flock turning on them. This is a part of who we are.
And I do not over-tax myself while doing this. I realize I am one person and I do what I can. I am satisfied with that. I realize people have come before me and have had the same feelings. I use the system as much as I can until I prove that it no longer works. For instace, I am trying to volunteer at a local homeless shelter right now. This will put me around people of faith, but I don't care. I am committed to man.
When I was Catholic, I felt that these acts made me closer to God. I was motivated by sticking it to the devil because he failed to rule a moment of my life. And what the people I helped did with their life was none of my business--it was between God and them.
Because I am hyper-sensitive to potential acts of vanity, I tend to question my motives often. I don't want to do it for a pat on the back. The pat is that I have fulfilled nature's intention and I am a productive member of my society. I have much to pay back and I will use that as motivation until I die. The only way to ruin hunger is to get your hands dirty and make them a meal. The only way to ruin poverty is to make sure that the impoverished have an opportunity to get out of their situation and get a job.
And if we all pitch in, we'll find out what the human race can do.
Part of me is curious why you fed the kids in the park. Part of me wants to prove that there are people who love humanity and humans on this board. And part of me just wanted to express my views in this forum because the tone and tenor of the conversation before this post has been very negative. I have added to that tone, and I'm sorry.

Everyday.
I dunno....high profile Christian preachers like Olsteen, John Hagee and Max Lucado are living pretty darn prosperous lives...
all own million dollar homes.........lead by example.
Fake christians who turn a profit from selling something that is free.
The men mentioned above are only living the good life because of what they do. They swindle and brainwash people for their money.
I go through periods when God seems as obvious as my hand in front of my face, and periods where I doubt.
