Topic: GENEROUS (10/31/19)
What is generosity? Is it fair to say that it may be relative? For the rich man, a gift of millions, maybe a diamond ring for the one he loves? These gifts will surely bring happiness! For the working class, would generosity be a beautiful bouquet of daisies or a romantic weekend trip to the shore? There is no doubt that this would bring joy to one's heart. Others are worthy of mention also. This group feels that they have nothing to give. Is this true? Could this be? I think not, for God has given gifts to us all, and these gifts were given to share. Do you have arms to hug, a shoulder to lean on, lips to encourage? Could it be that you have more than you know? Your gift of encouragement could change a life! The hug that you give may strengthen the weary soul! Your shoulder to lean on could keep someone from falling! Is your gift less impressive than the rich? Are your offerings without significance? They are not!

I like that you made the point about generosity being relative. We each have different ways to be generous.

Thank you for your wonderful explanation! It is true, all of us have "something" to give, even a hug! This piece also could be transformed into a beautiful poem...try it! Well done!

I liked your style but I would suggest a few paragraphs to give the reader a rest. Good questions to ask!

I love what you have done here. Generosity is more than money or material things. It comes from the heart as well. Very nicely done.

There are some good truths here.

I'd recommend expanding on this a bit more. You have plenty of words left, so give us more. Or maybe make this into a story. Tell us a story about someone who thought they had nothing to give, but then find out what little (in their eyes) they gave meant more than the money given by someone else.

You have a great start here.
