Friday!

Proverbs!

A generous person will be blessed, 

for he shares his food with the poor.

Proverbs 22:9 CSB

I'm a generous person, I send money to World Vision.

When this was written, there was no WV. 

This translation of generous person is the person with a generous eye. 

Someone who sees the need.

Seeing the needs of our world and helping to meet that through WV & other agencies is a good thing, don't stop!

But this proverb feels more personal than sending money. 

It uses the picture of having people around our table. 

When someone is at our table we can hear their story, and in that sharing, giving, and listening, we will be blessed.

It's much more personal as our lives intersect.

Our God is personal, and this proverb gently encourages us to be personal, to have an eye that is generous and to invite people in.
