This reminds me of a story from when my sons were young. Their mother gave $20 to a homeless man in Binghamton, NY. The boys asked her about "what if" he spent it on booze? She said that her giving him money was between her and her God, and what he did with it was between him and his God. Many years later, they both remember that.
