I have an aunt that is very funny.
She left her conservative Christian upbringing for a more lively, unorthodox life of giving to the poor.
The funny thing about her is that, in her lack of what some would call "faith," she has no trust that anyone will ever help this one, or that one, poor soul. She doesn't pray for people, that they will one day be healed or saved or helped. She does not have that kind of faith.
In its absence, she goes and helps them.
How wonderful is that. A little lack of faith, in this case, has been a fire under her feet and has done many people a lot of good.
