CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

What is Generosity?  It can be defined as “the virtue of giving good things to others freely and abundantly.” When we think deeply about this definition, three parts stand out clearly. Generosity is giving “good things”, giving “freely”, and giving “abundantly.”

We can deepen our experience of generosity by moving from acts of generosity to cultivating an attitude of generosity. When we embody an attitude of generosity, the good things we share expand out from deep within our hearts as an offering of freedom.

When we practice generosity, the “good things” that we give can take many forms. Certainly, some “things” are tangible items like toys, blankets, and food. Giving material things to help others is both a valuable and needed act of generosity. We can also give things like our time, our talents, and our full presence when we serve.

There is a very important lesson surrounding generosity: everyone connected to generosity wins – the recipient, the giver, and all who learn of it. Generous living is a wonderful way to live!

SHOW UP!!!  By showing up to make other’s loads lighter!

As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.  Audrey Hepburn

Matthew 25:40-45 New International Version

40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’

41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’

44 “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’ 45 “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Reflecting on encouragement from Jesus in Matthew 7 to remove the log in our own eye to better serve our brothers who need help with a speck in theirs… encouraged the PAX to set goals, share them with others, and then measure their success or failure to achieve.  We all need to strive to progress in our fitness, fellowship, and faith and we all need accountability to help us along the way.
