I went to the store to buy a new silver coin, but I ended up buying two so I could give one to the person who helps me clean my home. Seeing the surprise and genuine smile on her face was the highlight of my entire week and felt better than any purchase for myself.

May your generosity return to you a hundredfold and fill your soul with a lasting sense of purpose.
