Amanda Rico found a way to celebrate her 30th birthday after she was inspired by reading to her children the book “Light Up The Darkness” as a bedtime story.
Amanda realized that a lot of children do not have loving parents to grant them birthday presents much less have a party to celebrate the next year of their birth.
What Amanda did with the help of her husband, volunteers and close friends was to arrange to have her birthday party at St. P J’s Children’s Home to share her birthday party with 130 neglected and abused children in San Antonio Texas.
It is nice to see Amanda put up the needs of others instead of celebrating her 30th birthday with only her close friends and relatives since true happiness in life is to share your good times with people in need since sharing a good time is the best way to share your special events with others who live in a dark world through no fault of their own. Don’t you agree?
As a special bonus a local San Antonio television news report covered this wonderful act of kindness.
Thank you for explaining the meaning of the saying of the perfume.
Excellent words of wisdom.
it is like a reverse birthday gift
It is kind of odd that a mom decided to share a birthday party for abused and abandoned children.
we could use more of that brand of odd
I agree with you all the way since life is no fun when you cannot share happiness with people who need some sunshine in their lives.
They say that some are born to lose and some are born to give
They say that people live and learn; some people only live and live…
Lots of incredible people in the world.
That is true since most people that do great deeds to others want to keep a low profile on such matters.
Sharing happiness in a real way is the most beautiful way to grateful.
That is very true since there is a saying that goes like “Good deeds are like perfume, it spreads from the person giving it and the person who receives it.”
I agree with that saying, but also with another saying “Perfume, just smell it but don’t swallow it”.
That is true since the smell of perfume being swallowed could be the end of the line for me.
That also means; praise, just enjoys the fragrance but don’t swallow it.
