I robbed someone...

of the oppertunity to be generous. Have you ever been in the situation where someone whats to give you something or do something for you that will clearly be a sacrifice for them? And so your automatic response is to refuse their offer because "you don't deserve" their gift or service and you may be capable of doing it or getting it yourself.

This situation recently came up (and has many other times in my life). I refused and did a good job of refusing it. Then it hit me.

I was robbing this person of the opportunity to be generous. I felt really bad.

I remembered something I was taught back when I was a teen working at a summer camp. We were responsible for carrying the luggage of the campers from their cars to the luggage tent and the haul it up the mountain to their cabins. The guys that were also working kept taking the suitcase away from the girls who were working, you know being "gentlemen". It was sooo frustrating. So we had a lesson (or the guys did rather) about serving others by letting them serve.

I need to remember to let other people serve and be generous.

Even though I don't deserve it. Cause let's face it, I really don't deserve anything. I am a broken, selfish person. It is my nature.
