Being told that we should be giving is uncomfortable to hear. Yet for those who dare to listen, the experience of giving creates deep levels of satisfaction, liberation and joy. 
Lord Michael Hastings challenges us to give now. He calls us to maintain a balanced perspective during COVID. He argues that the concept of building and contributing for the common good includes giving taxes. Michael inspires us all to know that our little can create a lot.
