“As you get older it is harder to have heroes, but it is sort of necessary.”
Ernest Hemingway
“In the central place of every heart there is a recording chamber.  So long as it receives a message of beauty, hope, cheer, and courage – so long are you young.  When the wires are all down and our heart is covered with the snow of pessimism and the ice of cynicism, then, and only then, are you grown old.”  ~Douglas MacArthur

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
The warrior ethos (AKA Jedi Training) consist of 13 pillars: commitment, honor, respect, prepared, faithful, fighter, hungry, humble, lover, teachable, firestarter, truthful, and generous.
Each one is tied to a Bible verse.

Today I’m discussing the 13th pillar which is the final pillar:
Generous
The verse for this pillar is Proverbs 11:25

“The generous will prosper; those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed.”
– Proverbs 11:25 NLT

You can’t out give God! I encourage you to be more generous… This is not just with money, but with time as well. We were put here to serve. Give blood, volunteer for something you’re passionate about, help someone without expecting or wanting anything in return. These acts not only help others, but they are so rewarding. You will feel good as well !!

Jesus shows us how it’s done in 2 Corinthians 8:9 it says:
“You know the generous grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. Though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that by his poverty he could make you rich.” – 2 Corinthians 8:9

Keep giving and you will never be without!!
