20: From Beholden to Blessing

"… And joy is the appropriate attitude with which to help others because acts of generosity are a source of blessing to the giver as well as the receiver…"

This week, I’m reading a quote from John Chrysostom from the 400 A.D.s.

Reflection questions:

  • When was there a time when you were overwhelmed with the generosity of others because their generosity to you was given with such a spirit of joy that you received the generosity with pleasure?

  • Is there an area of your fundraising work that you would like to bring in that same spirit of joy?  How will you do so this week?

This quote has entered the public domain.
