Generosity and “Last Third” living

I write this to my future self (meaning I am putting this entry in at the end of July to be posted September 1). I am still reflecting on the “last third” of my life and how I want that journey to look. One BIG area I want in my life is the ability to GIVE OUT.

A few years ago there was a fun thing going around on Facebook about giving away random books. People would say “The first five people to respond I will send you a book of my choice. It could be used, right off my shelf, or sent as a new copy.”

I had a LOT of fun with that one… well, at least for me. It was a personal pleasure as no one wrote me back to THANK ME. (Like I’m keeping score?)

But, I love reading. I love watching people grow, so I am going to do this again. THIS TIME: I will only consider those commenting here on this post. It does NOT count if you reply on my social media.

I will send out a favorite book I’ve read recently to FIVE PEOPLE who comment ON THIS POST ON THIS BLOG (not on social media). I will then reply with ways you can privately send me contact info so I can send you a book.

Examples of books I may send out:
Atlas of the Heart by Brene Brown
Everything Happens for a Reason and Other Lies I’ve Loved by Kate Bowler
The Way Up is Down by Marlena Graves
With: Reimagining the Way You Relate to God by Skye Jethani
How the Word Is Passed: A Reckoning with the History of Slavery Across America by Clint Smith

So… FIRE AWAY. Let’s see if I can work on my generosity in this season of life.
