Those Gentle Nudges

Does your conscience (or the Holy Spirit) ever convict you that you might not be as generous as you should be? Have to admit, I’ve received those gentle reminders. So when that happens, I ask for guidance. I’ve written about Jesus tips before, where you give your waiter an extra-large tip. (I’ve received some interesting reactions when I’ve slipped a waiter a $20 and told him or her it was a Jesus Tip.) During this pandemic with so many depending on minimum wage and some having even less, I’ve upped my tip percentage and given tips where none were expected. It’s not as if it’s a great sacrifice as I’m driving less and eating at home more. The responses have been from I appreciate it so much to a surprised thank you. Thank you, Holy Spirit, for giving me those helpful nudges. Sharing what we have is another way to show Jesus’ loving generosity and concern for every one of his children.
