Our church is studying what it is to live a generous life. Today I spent over 3 hours combing through my closet and drawers with the ultimate purpose of making more room available and to create a corner "office" in our bedroom. But the trip to the donation center made it all worthwhile. While we could have had a garage sale and made a few dollars, the tax write off, I feel, is larger and my family is supporting a local nonprofit with our donations. My husband "re-made" over an old computer for a family member without one - another act of generosity. Doing the right thing may take effort - and I felt hot and grungy after working my room over - but the rewards can continue if those who have been helped feel blessed and in turn help others. Take time today to be generous. Someone today needs what only you can give.
