8: Depth of Gratitude

"Books which it would have been impossible for me to obtain elsewhere were, by his wise generosity, placed within my reach; and to him I owe a taste for literature which I would not exchange for all the millions that were ever amassed by man…"

This week, I’m quoting a story from the Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie. Published in 1920.

Reflection questions:

  • When was the last time we asked our most committed donors about their story for giving to the cause we serve?

  • When your fundraising tasks seem overwhelming, imagine what impact today’s generosity by donors and volunteers will have on the future.
