Continuing the theme of why I love America today. Next up on the list is the generosity of the American people.

I recently heard an interview with Bono where he was thanking the American people who through donations and governmental support had saved 900,000 lives in Africa.

That’s a big number.

Generosity is also in all of the little things that I see over and over again.

I see our staff come together and put on a whiffle ball tournament for the daughter of a deceased coworker.

I see our small church give back to our little community.

I see soup kitchens and food pantries serving the hungry.

And they all begin with generosity. I know this trait isn’t unique to Americans, but it is something we do exceedingly well.

I am very thankful to live in a country where so many of my fellow citizens give of themselves to help others.

Make it a great day.
