Lent Lesson 20: GENEROSITY

Generosity - Providing for others with a large heart.

He just got out of the fast food joint. He had a burger in his hand. That was the last he could afford. He should save it till night if he wants to have dinner as well. He had fallen into bad times and today just got worse.

As he stepped out,  a little girl came running to him asking for money. She was selling some books and was pestering him to buy so that she will end up getting a meal. He felt pity for the girl but didn't have any money.

He looked at the girl. She looked very weak and hungry. He finally decided he would do without dinner and gave the burger to the girl. She looked at him eyes wide and hugged him and said,  "Thanks brother".

He reached home and as he was opening the door his neighbor called out to him and said,  "We have a feast at home on the occasion of the birthday of our son. Please do come." He had more than he could eat that night.

When we turn to be generous enough to light someone's day, God in turn, turns us into stars so bright for everyone to see. Who could be more generous than creating everything and making us masters of his creation. He has given us a chance to share his duty now. Let us never put Him down.
