Wealth of Generosity

"...Though they have been going through much trouble and hard times, they have mixed their wonderful joy with their deep poverty, and the result has been an overflow of giving to others..."This week, I’m reading from 2 Corinthians by Saint Paul.Reflection questions: Is there a volunteer or Board member you have deemed too poor to give the opportunity to donate?

The Generosity of Nature

"...The waves beside them danced; but they [daffodils]Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:A poet could not but be gay,In such a jocund company:I gazed—and gazed—but little thoughtWhat wealth the show to me had brought:..."I'm reading two reflections on nature, abundance, and generosity: On Benefits by Seneca published in 59 AD and I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud by William Wordsworth published in 1807.Reflection questions: When will you take time this week to be outside and reflect on something abundant in nature? How will your reflection help you move from a mindset of scarcity to abundance?

Our Relationship with Money

"...Those of us who ask for money need to look carefully at ourselves. The question is not how to get money. Rather, the question is about our relationship with money. We will never be able to ask for money if we do not know how we ourselves relate to money...." This week, I’m reading a quote from The Spirituality of Fundraising by Henri Nouwen, originally presented in 1992.
