Lets start by saying I'm not a religious person. I definitely don't go around preaching to people and trying to save their souls. But I do believe. I suppose you could say I'm Christian, in just the most generic of terms. That being that I do have faith in a creator, and something bigger.
That said I honestly respect people of true faith. They're a rare breed, people who actually follow their beliefs, not because they're told to, not because they want to be 'in' or one of those busybodies in everyone elses business. Someone who truly believes because they want to and lives their life that way.
True believers are such nice people. I just spoke with such a woman and it left me with a warm feeling that reminded me how kind some people can be. I love that feeling when something genuinely meaningful happens, or when you meet a truly 'good' person. It's like instantly being recharged, like part of their positivity transfers to you.
I hope to be like that for others, in some way or another, whether it's just by providing a cute distraction from time to time, or actually helping a friend, etc. it is much nicer, to just be nice. :/

I really only brought it up 'cause I know this woman was religious and faithful.
It really is about attitude and personal conviction though. Staying in such a positive frame, being willing to help anyone... it's hard, it's damn hard. Which makes it even better when you meet someone who is like that.
For those of us without huge amounts of disposeable cash, you just gotta do what you can and hope it helps. ;)
