I’ve
been reading Truett Cathy’s book “Eat Mor Chikin: Inspire More People” lately
for a homework assignment. In case you
were wondering about the spelling that’s how the famous Chick-fil-A cows write out ‘eat more chicken’ (they can’t spell very well).
One
of the things that Truett said in chapter 1 caught my attention. I thought it was an instructive word, in the
heels of what I said in the last blog about giving and generosity. He writes, “Nearly every moment of every day
we have the opportunity to give something to someone – our time, our love, or
our resources.” It’s so true. Then he adds this important statement: “I
have always found more joy in giving when I did not expect anything in return.”
I
can echo that for myself. Personally, I
think that this is the attitude to have when giving to others. Among other things, this means giving with no
ulterior motives. There are some who
give to others, but they have a hidden agenda. This is unfortunate. This is essentially nothing more than a
facade. No, the kind of giving I’m
talking about – and Truett would evidently agree with me – is giving with no
strings attached.
So
let's all give that way. And by the way, eat more
Chick-fil-A chicken; it's a great product and a great company!
