Welcome to Nancy Wilson's Feminine Podcast. This audio is brought to you by Canon Press.

Before we get started, I wanted to make sure that you knew, out now from Canon Press's Christian Heritage series,

are the poems of John Dunn, with a very good intro from Elizabeth Howard.

From the introduction, she says,

we as readers get to enjoy and experience a kind of serendipity.

The gift of an unlooked-for connection that answers questions we didn't know we had.

The pleasure of poetry is often its principal power in turning us around

and moving us towards the good and the beautiful and in them towards God Himself.

You can find John Dunn's collection of poetry on the Canon Press website at CanonPress.com.

Welcome to the Feminine Podcast. This is Nancy Wilson. Thanks for joining me today.

Not today, I would chat with you about generosity, such a great word and such a beautiful concept.

And the thing that struck me was from Proverbs 229. He who has a generous eye will be blessed

for he gives of his bread to the poor. A generous eye. I just love that. It's what a great attribute.

And it's one we should cultivate and starting in our own homes, of course, because we don't want to be

generous outside the home, but not generous, a little stingy inside our homes.

And if you are, you don't have a home you're not married,

you can have a generous eye as well, but you should start in your own apartment or

your own living situation with the people you live with, the people you know, and from their work out.

But this image is if someone with bread, sharing it with someone who doesn't have bread,

a generous eye. And the thing that a generous eye does is it sees how much it has itself, right?

And that produces gratitude. Thank you, Lord. I have all this bread.

And then how little someone else has. So a generous eye sees all of his own or her own blessings.
