"What great profit you gain from God when you are generous! You give a coin and receive a kingdom; you give bread from wheat and receive the Bread of Life; you give a transitory good and receive an everlasting one. You will receive it back, a hundred times more than you offered." St. Thomas of Villanova

How often we fail to appreciate the generosity of God in response to our token gifts done in love! God is benevolent while we are short sighted. We think the little we give is extremely generous on our part. But in comparison to the blessings we receive from God, our gift pales. In God's eyes, the amount is not the point. It is the love with which we give. How often God desires to take our offering of a few loaves and fish and multiply them to care for the many in need? Be generous with what you are given by God and see his wonders.
