Some businesses have a generous culture, and some are just plain cheap. I was reminded of that as Tom, my pastor, recently shared an incredible personal experience he had years ago.
Before becoming a pastor, newly married, Tom and his wife were new to their church, so they jumped at the offer to have dinner in the home of another couple.
After a nice dinner Tom was shocked when the host pulled out grocery receipts and informed Tom that he expected him to pay his fair share of the dinner! Tom graciously reimbursed the host, but never forgot the experience.
Proverbs 22:9 teaches, “He who is generous will be blessed, for he gives some of his food to the poor.”
Strive to be known as a generous organization, not cheap.
