RE: Is generosity a teachable trait?
The giving and receiving weren't separate acts. They were two sides of one coin that both parties touched simultaneously.
This line really struck me. I have been in the charity organization that we started 11 years ago and we don't d it for fame or to be said to be good people. we even have a lot of people who want to remain anonymous and they are our biggest benefactors.
The story you had about your 15 year old daughter just doing that completely floored me and you know you did such a good job raising them if they do that without even thinking of what benefit they have.
Thank you!!! She really doesn't think often of herself. Others first! They hold so lightly onto things of this world!!! They care more about the love that they share. And it shows!!!!
It's true... The people who give without recognition... They're very special! It's like the John Bunyan line at the top of the post... To give when you KNOW there is no way to be repaid....
Wow.
And that doesn't mean repaid in money. Sometimes people.seek fame or a boost in their ego...or even public thanks!
But an anonymous gift... No strings attached... Those are truly special gifts 😊
Thank you for the wonderful comment!!!
