Be generous with your time. God can’t be outdone in generosity. He gives life in His image and likeness. He gave the gift of Himself in Christ’s offering on the Cross. In that spirit how can you give of yourself? Prayerfully consider where and to whom you can give your time and attention.
Be generous with your patience. Ours is the God of second chances, generous with His mercy. Decide to generously give others the benefit of the doubt, allow room for good intentions, and forgive injuries. Consider loving as God loves, by extending patience and forgiveness without limit
. Be generous with your family. Mother Teresa said, “If you want to bring happiness to the whole world, go home and love your family.” Make your family your top priority and give your loved ones the very best of yourself.
Be generous with your joy. Holidays can be difficult for people without connections. Look for someone at church, at work, or in the neighborhood who might need a place to celebrate the holiday. Share holiday love and joy.
