The Generous Offering

In December 2019, during family health emergencies and expensive medicine for a loved one, Samuel gave his church offering to a man leaving a food pantry, telling him "My brother, come here... Keep your head up." The episode anchors generosity in the widow's mites (Mark 12) — heaven measures sacrifice, not size — and 2 Corinthians 9:7's call to purpose generosity in your heart. Leaders learn that generous leaders build loyal teams, with three habits: purpose it in your heart, give out of your want, and look for the food-pantry moments by lifting your eyes in your own storm.
