cheap or generous

So I was going into Sam's Club and I saw this group raising money for a trip to Washington DC.  I had one $20 bill in my wallet.  Now I wanted to help them, but not $20 worth.  So I thought about this while I was in the store.  What should I do.  Then I figured that lots of people just walk by and do nothing for them.

So when I came out of Sam's I stopped and talked with them.  I stepped out on a limb... I asked them if they could break a $20 bill.  They said yes of course.  I gave them $5.  Then I asked them if that was generous of me or cheap.  They laughed.

Was that a generous act?  Or a cheap act?
I'm still thinking about that....

It’s a beautiful day in God’s world, be sure to see the good.

I would wonder too or probably would have done nothing
