Joyful Giving

“What gift can you give that will be meaningful to you—that will give you strength and clarity in the months ahead? What gift would be exciting, and nourishing to your own spirit? This is how we should give. The old proverb about the Lord loving a cheerful giver is often misunderstood. It doesn’t mean that we should give an amount that is easy for us. It doesn’t mean you should grin and bear it! It means that we should give a gift that gladdens our hearts; that gives us joy. It means when we give generously, with authenticity and integrity, the Divine moves in us. The Divine moves in us.” -Cecilia Kingman, from “The Land of Enough”
