47th day of the Omer

Hod SheBeMalchut

When a person merits to give tsedaka to the poor and indigent, he should praise Hashem ever more for giving him the chance to do this. As the Zohar says that when Hashem wants to give somebody a present, he sends a poor person to his house. Thus he improves and completes the Malchut (Kingship) with Hod (Praise).

So too, the man should do it himself, teach his family, and his friends, to thank Hashem for every mitzvah which he gets to do.

(from "U'sfartem Lachem")
