Kindness and a Generous Spirit

"There never was any heart truly great and generous, that was not also tender and compassionate."
~ Robert Frost

I have a friend who has an incredibly generous heart.  In the last week, she has had us to dinner at her house, invited us over for leftovers, joined us for an impromptu pizza dinner, invited me to a workshop she thought I might enjoy, and offered to buy me a new charging cord for my phone when she heard that I had misplaced mine.  I don't think my friend knows of another way to be.  When she sees a need or an opportunity to be kind, she takes it.  And in so doing, she gives others the gift of her time and welcoming nature.  It is no surprise that she volunteers every week at a food pantry that serves low-income women -- even though she is a busy professional.  Her generous spirit is evident every time she walks into a room with a smile so big that it seems to touch everyone in sight.
