rich or generous

You can be rich and not generous.  In fact, compared to the rest of the world, if you have the internet and the ability to read this [are literate] compared to the rest of the world, you are very very rich.  You can be rich and not be generous.

You can also be generous and not rich.

Some years ago I was out to lunch with a friend.  He picked up the bill and left a big fat tip.  The server stopped him on the way out and said, "thank you, you must be rich!"  He said, no, I am not rich, just  generous.

Imagine being so generous that people would consider you rich.  Not a bad thing.


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