Take a look at the fortune I received today at a lunch with a client.

As my teenage kids say – “That just happened.”

I couldn’t have summed up my understanding of generosity any better than this fortune cookie. “The constructive use of riches is better than their possession.”

Naturally, I wanted to source the quote. Here’s what I found:

Thoughts on Stewardship :: Stewardship Office | Archdiocese of Atlanta – “Author Unknown”

All the other references are from people like me, who received this gift from a fortune cookie and blogged about it. Huge thanks to the person in the fortune cookie factory who first penned this statement whoever you are.
