It's a beautiful day here in sunny South Carolina. I woke up to find myself thinking about what my gift for today will be. I can already see how this is changing my thinking from "What do I need to do today?" to "What CAN I do today (to help someone else)?"
So this morning as I wrote out our tithe check, I did it with a little more joy and gratitude. Sure, tithing is something that we are supposed to give, but so is love and forgiveness. And looking at the world today, I don't believe we are giving love and forgiveness as we are supposed to.
Anyway, today, I got the feeling that the check was a gift to God. I've been tithing so long, it has become more of a habit than a gift that I'm glad to give. Hopefully this little exercise is going to help me to remember that tithing is a gift. Something to joyfully give to God. After all, He is letting us keep 90% of HIS money! (Deuteronomy 8:18a - But remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth...)
Have a blessed Sunday!
