Only for a Sadka Jaria?

The reward in the after life, I mean?  The number of times I have heard this term on the past few weeks make me wonder whether people do good because they actually care or are they selfishly collecting "points" to give them sufficient credit in the after life?

Perhaps I am reading too much into it and human beings are naturally good caring people, and the sadka jaria is just a "bonus"?

Does it really matter what the intention is?  Surely, as long as that person is doing good is all that matters?

Having said that, what if I was not capable of helping someone out?  I want to do good, but my circumstances are preventing me from doing so.  Will I be punished for it?

We actually did 11K last Sunday!

We had  a great turnout!  Seven kids and two other dads cycled with us.  If I could post some pictures, you would be impressed.  Wait to see them on the screen in the school.

We were a bit evil by taking them up two steep hills, but it was worth it because the down hill ride was great fun.  Two additional families turn up to cheer us on, so th atmosphere was electric.  If only it was a bit hotter, the kids could have gone into the paddling pools - well, four did not care for the wind and just jumped in.

I am not sure about the other children, but my two, for the first time, asked to go to bet at 9:00 - so definitely worth it for me.

In terms of fund raising, we have pledges of £410, al-hamdulla.  Still over £300 away from our target, but, I can't complain.  Two more laptops is better than what we have now.

Take care
