Michelle Benzinger, cohost of the popular Abiding Together podcast, talks about almsgiving as an opportunity to be generous and grateful. She also discusses how you can find restoration when you give your time, treasure, and presence.
The Healing Balm of Almsgiving
Almsgiving is a recognition that all of us have needs, all of us are poor in some way or another, and none of us exists alone and isolated. Others in life have need of what we can give them, and we have need of what others can give us. To give something brings us out of ourselves into a deep recognition of the other. It heals us and the other person as well.
