Liberality is living generously; it serves as a weapon against
greed. Give freely to others when it is within your power to do so, without any
expectation of getting something in return. This includes giving to the
homeless, neighbors, and those in our own families. We can’t simply expect this
from our children. We model it when they watch us joyfully give to others and
when they are recipients of our generosity. And we can help them live
generously by providing opportunities for them to give and serve.
