We all give, 
 but some of us are 
Generous.
 We share our gifts 
 with others
 in a way that transcends
 what is expected.
This sharing of one’s gifts
 is an act of generosity.
 It is a way of sharing their 
 blessings with others.
 It is a way
 of practicing generosity
So what happens when 
 we say no.
 When we say no, 
 we are blocking their blessings.
 we are denying others the
 opportunity to practice generosity
Why would we deny others 
 the opportunity to be generous
 to share their blessings.
 Do we realize that when we say no
 that this is what we are doing.
 What if we said yes to the invitation
 to gather with friends
 even if we want to say no.
 What if our saying yes not only 
 blessed us but allowed others
 to practice generosity
