Exactly. I don't know why the word charity has a negative connotation.
I agree wholeheartedly. What about the old addage, "Charity begins at home". Is that insulting? When I see someone saying they made a "charity" quilt I am immediately impressed that they made time from their life to give to someone they don't know but wants them to enjoy what God has given us so generously (our talent of sewing). I don't care whether its Quilts of Valor, or Quilts for Kids, or Linus, or any other "charities" they all deserve our thanks in any way we are able to give it. Be it sewing or money.
