Generosity

So the past two days have shown me how generous friends and family can be.

Yesterday morning four of my friends took me home, yes the four hour car ride isn't all that bad. However asking them to take part of their break to take me back down to Maryland and them saying yes ended up being such a good thing and helpful to me and my parents.

Once getting down and surprising my parents since I came home a day earlier than expected. We just chilled and  relaxed.

Today we then went out to play frisbee with the guys while the girls went out to explore/shop in downtown Frederick. While we were out my parents whipped up a Korean dinner of marinated beef, chicken, potato salad, rice, and a Korean dipping sauce for lettuce and cucumbers. Afterwards my mom showed one of my friends how to prepare salted seaweed and then the seaweed that she prepared she gave to them. They definitely weren't expecting that as well as the container of leftovers we prepared for them to eat on the trip back. To top that off they got a sizable portion of gomobang (Korean sweet bread) that my mom had just baked. And lastly my parents then made sure they had gas and toll money.

Seeing all this showed me how generous my parents really are. One of my friends noted how they really didn't need to do all this, but I replied how that they couldn't get them not to. And that I truly hoped that I could do the same to others in how my parents portrayed their generosity. Saying that it dawned on me that I really do hope that I can be as generous as my parents were/are.

That all being said stop and reflect on what event recently you've shown generosity.
Have you done such a good deed recently?

If not aim to do so, for it is definitely worth it.
