"There is one who scatters, yet increases more; and there is one who withholds more than is right, but it leads to poverty. The generous soul will be made rich, and he who waters will also be watered himself."
Proverbs 11:24-25
The wise man is generous. It was during my Sophomore English class over 50 years ago that I read "Silas Marner" by George Eliott. It is the story of a widower miser who hoarded his gold, but lost it all in the end, including his only child who drowned in a lake. Jesus said it: "Give and it shall be given unto you..." Luke 6:38. There is a difference between being conservative and being a miser. It is a matter of the spirit. Being wealthy in spirit is better than having a fat wallet.
Today's Thought: The generous soul is rich.
Have a generous day. Love you.
