You stingy wingy.
In my experience in the Christian church, when people talk about giving, it is always about giving money to the church. That’s just what it’s associated with nowadays, it seem, monetary giving.
A good friend of me gave me a good idea though that I thought I would pass on. Stop thinking about money when you hear the word “giving.” Instead of money, what else do you have to give? Time? Knowledge? Love? Care? You can give any number of things.
Just thinking of money is putting yourself in a very small and awkward box, and can give you an attitude of “Well, I would give freely if I was making money to give… but I’m unemployed, so… yeah.” Break out of the box! Are you good at math? Help your friend with math! Do you have a car? Drive friends around! There are so many things that are so much better than money for you to give!
