Generosity takes another form when we’re talking about the words we use. A generous heart is apparent when a person speaks to others with encouragement and truth. When we choose to speak well of people even though they are not present, or we respond to difficult situations with gentle words, we reflect God’s love. Speaking words of love to others and about others is a beautiful way of living generously.

Next time your family is gathered together, listen to the words that are used. Discuss how those words reflect what is coming from the heart.
