Many Motives for Giving ~ Raul Ries

…For God loves a cheerful giver.”

2 Corinthians 9:7

Lining Miami’s Flagler Street are beautiful royal palm trees. One night, vandals cut down six of the magnificent trees, and the city did not have the money to replace them. Then, at last, a donor came forward and offered to replace the lost trees. But while the former trees had been 15 feet tall and formed a perfect foreground for a big Delta Air Lines billboard, the new trees were 35 feet tall and completely hit the billboard. The donor? Eastern Airlines.

There are many motives for giving. What is yours?

Thought for the Day:

It is not how much you give but why you give!
