Take your pick. The word derives from the Latin eleemosynarius which means of or relating to charity.
So, starting this October and continuing each and every day thereof (and next month, too) let's make it a a month of giving.
Our elimosinary actions need not be limited to cash donations to charities of our choice: the March of Dimes, The American Cancer Society, our local foodbanks, the homeless shelters, our churches, synagogues and mosques.
Our elimosinary activities can also include visiting the sick, lifting up the spirits of unemployed family members and friends, finding time to encourage and help our children with their studies, donating time to various fund raising activities such as thrift shops, auctions, car washes, etc.
It's a great month to give to others what we are so fortunate to have received ourselves.
So, let's go do it!
