On generosity — A Longer Table

Jul 23

Jul 23 On generosity

We don’t need much to be generous

Turns out generosity isn’t defined by a number

But of sacrifice

You don’t need to have all you need

To build a longer table

You don’t even need a table

You just need someone with whom you can share

The best examples of generosity I know are

A woman with one coin

A family with some oranges

A noisy chicken in a van

Turns out how much you give doesn’t define your generosity

It’s perhaps what you don’t have

What you sacrifice

What you share joyfully and intentionally with another

That enables you to be generous

I want to be generous like that
