“I shall pass through this world but once. Any good thing, therefore, that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any human being, let me do it now. Let me not defer it or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.”
This week, I’m reflecting on the words of Henry Drummond from The Greatest Thing in the World, published in 1874.
Reflection question:
- How are we showing the generous love found in service, courtesy, and giving this week?
Reflection on quote:
How we treat those we serve whether our constituents or donors and volunteers is an outgrowth of how we love. A generous love includes three aspects: service, courtesy, and giving. In my opinion, this quote truly sums up the aspirational nature of fund development work. Service, courtesy, and giving.
