Our Monthly Spiritual Themes guide our Chalice Circles, which are small, intentional groups of members and friends that gather for spiritual enrichment through personal sharing. For more information on Chalice Circles, please email Linda Benson at chalicecircles@uuprinceton.org.

Our Chalice Circle thoughts and questions around the theme of “Giving” this month are:

“ No one has ever become poor by giving. ” ⎯ Anne Frank

When has giving brought you more than your gift?

 

“I have found that among its other benefits, giving liberates the soul of the giver.” ⎯ Maya Angelou

Have you ever experienced liberation in the power of helping another human?

 

“Before giving, the mind of the giver is happy; while giving, the mind of the giver is made peaceful; and having given, the mind of the giver is uplifted.” ⎯ Buddha

Why is the attitude of the giver and the spirit of the gift so important?

 

“Kindness in words creates confidence.

Kindness in thinking creates profoundness.

Kindness in giving creates love.” ⎯ Lao Tzu

Do you find that giving help to someone increases your compassion, regard and love for them?
