Being a generous person is one of life's great privileges. And there are a multitude of ways to be generous - with our time, with our affection and love, with our financial and material resources, with our spirit, with our talents and abilities, with our knowledge. But be warned. Generosity is not for the faint of heart. Generosity can begin to transform us in ways that we cannot ask for or imagine.
Generosity exacts a human cost.
Generosity makes us vulnerable. Let us pray. O God, creator of all things and giver of life, you alone are the satisfaction of our hungry souls. Help us always to know that our meaning is found only by loving you and loving one another. Keep us ever mindful of your providence - the abundant blessings you provide for us, and guide us in our purpose of being stewards of your creation.
