The gift -- Christ-centered, not me-centered -- Listen first, speak second -- Generous, not greedy -- Clarity, not ambiguity -- Real, not rose-colored -- Patient, not overambitious -- Confident, not arrogant -- Long-term, not short-lived -- Grateful, not entitled -- Represents, not uses -- The giver -- Stewardship, not ownership -- Heads, not just hearts -- Mission minded, not manipulative -- Partnership, not dependency -- Transformational giving, not just informed philanthropy -- Spirit-led, not overly structured -- Anonymous or named? -- The kids or the kingdom? -- For forever or for now? -- Together, not alone.
