The Generosity Experiment: Day 3
To start reading from Day 1, click here.
“Find out what happens when you look for opportunities to give.” A simple sentence, packed full of complex introspection and heart changing impact.
I will advise you this Experiment needs to come with a warning label.
Caution: Due to focus on divine appointments and the needs of others, you may experience a reduction in your pace of life. This may be caused by a conscious change of heart. Examples of small outbursts may look similar to allowing others in line before you, driving 5 miles slower to allow others to enter traffic safely, smiling as you encounter others, and not rushing about to simulate importance. An awareness of your stereotypes of others and pride will be noticed rapidly. But when dealt with properly, enjoyment of the holiday season may quickly follow. If these symptoms occur, do not be alarmed. This is only natural when generosity is added to your daily intake.
I’m finding out what happens. . . in me.
What’s happening in you? What would be on your warning label?

Since your first post, I’ve been praying for opportunties..Funny thing, yesterday was a terrible day, one of those where you find the need to hide in your bed till it all goes away. Instead, I made a Christmas wreath for the door of the city afterschool program. They’ve never had a wreath, and making it helped me see my week differently and find a little joy.
its a rambling thought…funny what God uses to bring perspective..thank you for your posts and for the encouragement during the holiday season
My warning label would read, “you may find riches beyond your understanding”
This is so clever, the warning label. Very thought-provoking, too. My warning label definitely includes “results beyond what is asked or imagined.”
