A friend borrowed my strainer in order to can applesauce. When she returned the strainer, she brought me three quarts of applesauce. I protested! She insisted. After she left, I wondered why I have such a hard time being generous. I don't like to give, especially things I have canned -- it is such a lot of work and I need ALL of it. Or so I think. Then I realized, I must trust God that when I am generous with God's children, He will make sure there is enough for me.
But then I started wonderind if I really am being generous if I don't think there will be any impact on me. Shouldn't my kindness involve some sacrifice? Shouldn't I sacrifice for others? Why? Because sacrifice is good for me. I will have to start from there.
