This, hands down, has been my most important real estate win this year, as I have gotten my feet under me as a full-time self employed turning my hobby into a real business and determining how that business is called to .
A recent Ryan Pineda interview with Erwin Raphael McManus embodies the idea of tithing perfectly. As we as entrepreneurs build and generate in business, and in designing our perfect lives, we are called to sow the fruits of our labor in ways. The root word of "generous" is to be "generative". So, to further create opportunities to give to others, in turn allows us further opportunity to give and generate in our own lives.
In this effort, that is exactly what happened. I felt called to reach out to this family's landlord, so we were on the same page, and my friend Amy Sharp Williams and I worked together to raise money from the local real estate community, and secured a 100% match on our fundraising efforts, so everyone's charitable dollar, equaled two!
Read the article, look at all those names... If this big happy family does not deserve a blessing like this I don't know who does. In the photo, Amy and I met with the landlord of the house, and presented the gift on December 1st... We had the opportunity of meeting this big, loving, happy family all still smiling and enjoying life despite being in the face of adversity, grieving the loss of the matriarch of the family from a freak accident.
Their attitude is so uplifting. I hope we can motivate others to give in similar ways that they are able, especially during this holiday season.
We were so pleased to help them, and thank everyone who generously helped our to do it, (Stuart Po***ck & Huso Akaratovic), and more.) as well as the generous anonymous donor who matched the gift.
May God continue to bless them in ways better than we could...
