Senators show generosity by sharing their talents with others. If you have basketball skills, perhaps you could take a younger player under your wing. If you enjoy cooking, make a dish or bake cookies for someone to brighten their day. Think of something you do well and show generosity by sharing it with others to make a positive difference in their lives. Have a great week from Be A Senator.
