Summary
Are you ready to ring in the New Year later this week?
My crew is skiing over the next few days, and my greatest hope is to enter into 2022 without any casts, crutches, or major casualties. We set the bar pretty low over here.
But as we take time to consider a new year and all the new opportunities before us, I love the thought of praying generosity over our kids. The Bible speaks of generosity often because God knows how quickly our allegiances can be divided, and he wants all of our affection and trust to be centered wholly on him.
Just as it’s a great time to consider what generosity looks like in our own lives, we are also praying it for our kids. And it’s not just financial generosity we’re considering since most of our kids don’t have a financial empire at this point—but we’re praying our kids generously serve others and love the people around them well.

| 0:40.1 | Advent season. And it feels really good and right to pray generosity for our kids after Christmas, |
| 0:46.7 | after they probably received quite a bit. And now to really step back and pray that they have |
| 0:51.6 | generous hearts. And so I love these verses, Proverbs 11, 24 to 25. |
| 0:55.8 | One person gives freely, yet gains even more. Another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty. |
| 1:01.2 | A generous person will prosper. Whoever refreshes others will be refreshed. |
| 1:06.4 | Most likely those verses were written by King Solomon, the richest man that we know of probably |
| 1:12.1 | top ten richest men of all time by some accounts, a trillionaire. |
| 1:16.1 | And he knows a whole lot about money. |
| 1:18.8 | And remember how King Solomon talks out at the end of his life. |
| 1:21.6 | Like, I've had it all. |
| 1:22.5 | I've seen it all. |
| 1:23.4 | It's all meaningless. |
