Dear Miracle Worker,

The Course's view on giving is radical, the same as the Course's view of many things. "To have, give all to all." (OrEd.Tx.6.67) Gee … what about the Biblical teaching about tithing or giving 10%? 10% must be for “wimps!” (lol)

Today is “Giving Tuesday.” Research tells me Giving Tuesday was started in 2012, which would mean this is its 10th birthday. “Happy Birthday Giving Tuesday!” It was the brainchild of a digital media website named “Mashable” which focuses on digital news and entertainment. It was announced a month before the first occurrence set in advance as the first Tuesday after Thanksgiving. Some big players quickly promoted the movement (Cisco, Huffington Post, The Washington Post, The White House Blog, ABC News, Forbes). “Giving Tuesday” was off and running.

By 2013 it was estimated that over 7,000 nonprofits were participating. It has continued to grow. “Giving Tuesday” is now its own non-profit 501[c]3 organization founded to promote this global movement of giving. Its foundational premise is stated as, "global generosity movement unleashing the power of people and organizations to transform their communities and the world.” I like that. ACIM tells us to be generous. "The teacher of God is generous out of self-interest." (OrEd.Mn.4.19) Actually “generosity” is listed as one of the ten characteristics of God’s Teachers.
