I must admit I don't feel very generous today. I feel tired, run down and thoroughly worn out. I have an essay to finish, sermon to write and Lent breakfast to lead. Then I have a retreat to go on where I'm supposed to put all this out of my mind, and because of that I can't attend my nieces baptism this weekend.
I worked a 14 hour day today and thought I'd completely fail today's task- until I remembered that I'd randomly bought a present for my husband, for no reason, which never happens (it's a Qwertee t-shirt).
I've mentioned before in my blog that my husband gets a raw deal when it comes to my time and affection, so it felt good to buy him something for no reason, with no purpose other than for him to feel a little more appreciated. The upside of this was I felt better because I'd done something lovely for someone- random acts of generosity definitely benefit to giver as well as the recipient. Doing good feels good!

Now as you excel in everything...so we want you to excel also in this generous undertaking.
