We all are called on to be generous with our neighbors. However, to be generous and not have to have help ourselves we first need to know what we have in order to know what we can give. Also we need to realize that giving is not just money but also involves our time and talent or skills. We may not always have money to give but we might have time or a talent that would be beneficial to someone else. To be able to be truly generous we must first be stable ourselves to know what we can give.
