Taking Action – Day 30 – GIVE

We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give.

— Winston Churchill —

Reflection

Few things are more powerful than giving our time, skills, and resources to others. A mantra I heard repeatedly in AA meetings captures it well: “You can’t keep what you have unless you give it away.” My wife and I tried to live by that principle, and we’ve never regretted it.


In a world focused on accumulation, generosity is a different way of living. It’s an act of faith and a reflection of what truly matters.

Generosity is more than money. It’s encouragement, attention, opportunity, and presence.

It’s the mentor opening a door, the friend who listens, or the neighbor who shows up.

Truly generous people rarely end up with less…they actually end up with more.

Anyone can make a living. Be one who makes a life by lifting others.

 

Soul Search

  • Am I generous by habit or only by occasion?
  • What would change in my life if I became significantly more intentionally generous?

“Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” — 2 Corinthians 9:7 (NIV)
