29-Day Giving Challenge

The kind of giver I strive to be

"And there are those who give and know not pain in their giving, nor do they seek joy, nor give with mindfulness of virtue. They give as in yonder valley the myrtle breathes its fragrance into space. Through the hands of such as these God speaks, and from behind their eyes He smiles upon the earth."

I have been re-reading my old journals and found this quote that seemed appropriate to share here. Not sure where the quote is from, but I like it.
