24: Means of Generosity

"… You see how the mind even in the straitest circumstances finds the means of generosity."

This week, I am reading a story and quote from On Benefits by Seneca the Younger, published in 59 AD.

Reflection Questions:

  • Consider the volunteers you interact with, how are you going beyond thanking them for their time and instead honoring the gift of their own self?

  • How are we restoring them to themselves; that is, sharing with them the greater impact the gift of their time and person has in the mission together we serve?
