The Generous Spirit of a Friend

"If truth doesn't set you free, generosity of spirit will."
― Katerina Stoykova-Klemer

I have a friend to whom I turn for all kinds of help.  She is bright and very competent, and as a mother of four, she is very experienced in all kinds of mommy situations.  She also happens to be a nurse, which comes in handy.  When my daughter nearly fainted at a school Mass and had to be carried out by one of her teachers a few years ago, I was thankful that my friend was there.  I called her again last night to help me figure out a minor, but nonetheless important, health-related situation.  She never cares at what time I call and offered for me to go to her house even though it was late at night. Then today, she left some bandages that I needed for me.  Always willing to help, her generous spirit is a wonderful gift of kindness to her friends.
