The Giving Game
Posted: May 29, 2011
What Oprah taught me about generosity…
You don't have to be an Oprah
to touch lives the way she does.
You don't have to have her money or her fame.
You can make someone feel special
giving them the time of day
and by learning how to play the giving game.
Generosity's a virtue.
It's a value to embrace
irregardless of how much they say you're worth.
Be you wealthy or on welfare
you know someone who's worse off
who has struggled making ends meet since their birth.
Generosity's a mind set
that affects your fingers' grasp.
It's an indicator of who owns your heart.
It directs your eyes to focus
on a person you can bless
with some unexpected resource you impart.
