Today I am grateful for the generous philanthropists of Northwest Arkansas. On Monday, I watched my grandson play baseball at the Tyson ball fields in Springdale. Yesterday, I went to yoga class at the Pat Walker Center for Seniors affiliated with Washington Regional Medical Center. This morning, I enjoyed the offerings of the award-winning Fayetteville Public Library, spearheaded by lead donor Jim Blair in honor of special women in his family.
I often take for granted the civic-minded people whose generous donations contribute greatly to my quality of life. I pause today to lift up my thanks for the ideas you have planted among the wealthy in my area. Let their lives be blessed in knowing people use and appreciate their gifts.
I don't have significant means, but I have enough to share. Keep me mindful of our food ministries at St. Thomas when I'm at the grocery. Open my eyes to opportunities to share with the oppressed in my area, in both financial and volunteer ways. I am rich beyond measure compared to most of your beloved children.
Amen
