In the Gospel, Matthew 6:3, wuotes Jesus as saying that when it comes to helping the needy dib't let the left hand know what the right hand is doing. It is in nature of true charity that it remains anonymous.
Justin Bieber was very kind and very, very charitable to a six year old fan who has battled brain cancer and had repeated rounds of chemo since she was a baby. After reading about the girl in Facebook, he flew her and her mother from Boston to New York,and, according to contactmusic.com "The pair then spent the afternoon playing board games, eating cupcakes, and signing autographs for each other before deciding they would get 'married'.
Justin would later twitter, which he did all afternoon long, " "hangin out with a special little girl. MrsBieber'"
This is very sweet stuff, and for a star as popular as Bieber there is no greater commodity than his time.
But if I didn't know about it, it would be a lot more special.
I am going to see Davy Jones on Saturday and after Davy left the Monkees, information about how much he time he spent with unfortunate children began to trickle out. It couldn't be kept a secret forever. But at the time, it wasn't known at all. Which hits me as a true act of Charity.
