This verse states the importance of charity and it mentions that "if they should have charity they would not suffer the laborer in Zion to perish." Charity is obviously important and no, it doesn't start at home-it starts with people who can't help you in the long run. Your family helps you every day.
Charity is often totally misunderstood. Charity doesn't mean that you have to live in a cardboard box, give all your income to everyone who asks for it and starve five days a week so that the rest of the world gets to eat. While we all could certainly do more for charity, none of us should feel guilty about not being able to help everyone who needs appears to need it.
