As we looked into what wisdom was, what it means for our lives, and what our lives should look like if we are pursuing wisdom; we found out that wisdom calls us to be generous. Check it out in Proverbs 3. Yet, as we came to understand the type of generosity wisdom calls us to commit to; we saw it was selfless generosity. We weren't giving away our time, finances, or our kind words just to get praise and recognition. We were giving those things away because God was first generous to us. Generosity compelled by love and founded in wisdom is what Proverbs urges us with.
Kurt Johnson, wrote a neat piece on generosity recently over on the blog, morethandodgeball.com. Give it a read here. As we run into the holiday season, how can generosity help us slow down and engage in a meaningful spiritual activity with our kids?
