Strange that’s even there. Leftists are notoriously uncharitable.

As a Calvinist, I don’t use the “L” word. How can one be grateful to luck? That is bizarre. The idea of luck is a bludgeon the left uses to guilt people out of their money.

Gratitude itself increases generosity — and opens the space to receive more.
