What do you think of when you hear someone is a generous person?
Your first thought may be that they generously give their money to someone or a charity. Generosity isn’t always about money but it includes giving of our time, possessions or just being kind towards someone. It could be a kind gesture or an uplifting word that changes a person’s mood for the entire day. When we see their positive response, it causes a favorable emotion to rise inside of us.
So be generous with your good mornings, positive attitudes, and joyful smiles. In return, you will automatically feel uplifted by your actions. Let’s consciously choose to uplift people; by refreshing others, we refresh ourselves.
“A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.” Proverbs 11:25 NIV
