Generosity

"Silver and gold have I none, but such as I have, give I thee!"

Megan, Paul and I have spent the last week or so saying good-byes and we have been enjoying invitations to people's homes and accepting gifts from the staff and our friends here.  It has been rather overwhelming to see the generosity of people who choose to use their limited resources to write a kind letter of thanks, buy some small gift or prepare a meal to share with us.   Their kindness is very humbling!
