God is so faithful to bless those who are obedient -- not necessarily a financial blessing, but the blessing is still absolutely there. What a great reminder this post was to continue to be faithful in obedience, even when it's difficult.<BR/>Also... when our internet gets fixed, I want a craigslist tutorial!Sarah Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16384771751959043134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2765754046718767202.post-92009672276522206612008-06-27T17:41:00.000-04:002008-06-27T17:41:00.000-04:00Well, after typing a comment that was as long as t...Well, after typing a comment that was as long as the Magna Carta, I decided that I sounded WAY too judgemental. We do tithe. I feel like God's Word is God's Word, and even though Christ has freed us from the law, His guidelines for giving are relevant, no matter what. And I'd rather give my 10% than do what the early Church did and sell all they had and share it with everyone else! :)<BR/><BR/>I wish, however, I had more of a giving spirit when it comes to other forms of giving...like my time, my attention, etc.Heathahleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03526348513736437292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2765754046718767202.post-46742273596389944462008-06-27T01:04:00.000-04:002008-06-27T01:04:00.000-04:00My parents were over tonight, and we were talking ...My parents were over tonight, and we were talking about people who have the ABILITY to give ... but not the heart.<BR/><BR/>It's sad. <BR/><BR/>Great post, by the way.

What about the entirety of God's Living and Active Word and even then, don't we tithe out of obedience and Love for our Lord? Well, that is all I have to say about that. I know, thank goodness. :D<BR/>I loved your post and it made me search my own heart. Thank you. So often, I purchase a little "happy" allowing myself to do so because it is inexpensive...but those little "happys" add up and I could be placing it somewhere for someone else's need instead of my want.<BR/>Well, I look forward to seeing you and going shopping! :D ho hum. Have a joyous day! We have much to be thankful for! Love you... always commenting...love,mom xoxooAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
