"….Once we have learned to love the rich for who they are rather than what they have; and once we believe that we have something of great value to give them, then we will have no trouble at all in asking someone for a large sum of money…."
This week, I’m reading a quote from The Spirituality of Fundraising by Henri Nouwen, originally presented in 1992.
Reflection questions:
- When I meet a donor at their home, am I jealous or envious? Or, am I grateful for their generosity?
- Also related to this week’s quote, do I assume the worst about a donor and their wealth? Or, am I grateful that they have been blessed with the opportunity to give?
