6: Live in Joy

"O let us live in joy, although having nothing! In joy let us live like spirits of light!..,"

This week, I’m reading a quote from the Dhammapada, written down in the 1st century BC.

Reflection questions:

  • When was the last time you stepped back to view the greater horizon of the mission you serve?  Is it time to step back again and live in the love, health, peace, and joy to see what you get to fundraise for?

  • Think now of donors, who are the donors that you can share that joy of living in the greater horizon of the mission? Not to cultivate, ask, or steward, but to simply have a conversation of joy with them.  Who are the donors coming to mind now?

What do you think?
