Are you someone who easily gives away money and time? If you are, then congratulations, you have already discovered the joy of giving.
For the rest of us, giving can be tough—- it evokes our anxiety about not having enough for ourselves or rankles against our sense of merit—-I earned this and this is mine.
But the biblical story rings with the message that we need to give. And at least half of that need is our own. Giving to others reminds us that everything is a gift from God and therefore not really ours to hold on to forever.
Giving and receiving move us from isolation to a deep sense of community and nourish a life-freeing recognition that we have enough, we are enough, and that in God’s economy, there is enough for everyone.
Our guests today, Judy and David Osgood, have cultivated a genuine joy in giving and have given enough of themselves and of their money to make a significant difference in many people’s lives. Join us as we hear their remarkable witness to the joy of giving.
