Finding Opportunities To Give
My sister and brother were sitting in a restaurant about a week ago. They had traveled to a new city to look for a house where my sister would be moving with her husband in a few weeks. Her husband is in the Air Force and couldn't go help find them a place to live. As my brother and sister were waiting for their meal to arrive a man came up to them and gave them twenty dollars. "You reminded us of us when we were young." the man said gesturing to his wife. We had a good laugh about this afterward, because the man must have thought my brother and sister were married (and my brother is only 16). But the more I have thought about this, the more I have wanted to find opportunities to give generously and with out reason... like this man did and like the young men in this story did. If we follow their example it is just a matter of opening our eyes and looking around us for opportunities to give!
