Last week, the university staff heard a presentation from a United Way volunteer who was trying to motivate us to make donations to the community cause. He tied his comments into a presentation by the previous speaker who was acknowledging the season of Lent.
"Instead of asking what are you giving up for Lent," he said, "think of what you are giving."
Giving up and giving are very different actions. Think about your own organization or personal situation -- when are times that giving is appropriate and when would it be better if you were giving up instead? Which is easier for you to do? Both have their place -- just give them their due with intentionality and not by automatic default.
