Inspiration of the Day from Charity Focus.org.

Drew Friend's 5th birthday party had been in full swing for less than half an hour -- and toys, board games, clothes, and stuffed animals were stacked on the dining room table. The pile kept getting bigger as guests poured into his home with armfuls of birthday gifts. But Drew didn't pay much attention to the pile. And a few hours later, he gave all the presents away. He had made an unusual decision -- one that displayed a selflessness beyond his years. Drew had decided to give his presents away to those fortunate than him. When asked why he would do something like that, the boy looked up from playing with his plastic dinosaurs. "Because it would make a good feeling in my heart," he said.
