The generous are remembered forever, their kindness etched in hearts. The selfish fade quickly, leaving only the scars of their actions behind.

Above all, let generosity be your treasure.
What is generosity?
It’s more than money, though money speaks.
It measures where your heart truly lies.

Where your treasure is, there your heart will be.
You care about what you spend your money on.
For when you pay, you also pay attention.
To nurture a generous spirit, begin with giving.

Yes, giving money requires sacrifice,
But it’s a sacrifice worth making.
Give cheerfully, for it shapes your soul.
In giving, you grow, and others are lifted.

Commit to sharing 10% of your income with a charity or church.
And watch your heart expand with love for others.
This generosity will spill over.
Into your time, your talents, your life.

No eulogy celebrates the selfish,
But the generous are remembered forever.
Songs are sung, stories are told.
Of those who gave, who loved, who shared.

Be generous,
And let your legacy be one of love.
