And generosity, as well. The more I save, the more I have to give away.
The more I have to give away, the greater my joy.
The greater my joy, the more my heart swells with gratitude and I'm back to a greater contentment with the abundant grace and blessings of God.
So, if contentment with generosity brings joy and gratitude and ultimately greater contentment, it seems to me that I deprive myself - not by living frugally - but when I avoid faces and stories, and offer numerous lame reasons why I can't respond.
