A few people were asked, "What is one lesson which you have learned from your parents?" An answer should come easily. One man found this so. Orphaned in this teens, he said that his lessons were put to immediate use when his parents died, given many lessons he used in every part of his life. He is a living legacy of lessons. Lessons his folks got from Christ.
Learning from your parents? Parents are launching pads. Launching for readiness. You're on your own, getting a real footing in life. It's a timely process that takes courage and prayers. Great parents say, "Be generous in love, food, friendship and caring." Great lessons! Sooner or later generosity finds faith's doorway.
Generosity toughens you because sometimes others bat it away with rejection. A small number will miss your intent but most people will actually get it. Intend to leave someone with an impression of Holy generosity. Why? Because out of God's generosity we've been given our Savior, Christ. Christ gives us loving unity with God our heavenly parent. So, be generous with love, food, friendship, and His caring.
Those who are generous are blessed Proverbs 22:9
