have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support
the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It
is more blessed to give than to receive.

Well, first of all, it is fitting that we talk about philanthropy and charitable giving this week, ahead of Independence Day. We live in a country of massive generosity. American’s give more to charity, per capita and as a percentage of gross domestic product, than the citizens of any other nation. Based on charitable contributions, American’s give 1.85% of GDP, first among all nations, and American’s rank third in terms of the amount of time volunteered. And among American’s, black American’s tend to contribute more as a percentage of their income than American’s of other ethnicities. Those are statistics to be proud of as the fourth approaches.
I listen to Melony every Monday on Tom Joyner show. When she stated Black Americans contribute more than any ethnicities . I said wow! Now you know your random act of kindness goes a long way. Be a Blessing give a Blessing.
