I just wanted to share a little story that happened to us today. Last night Brandon was paying bills and we started to discuss paying our tithing. Brandon and I strive to pay our tithing each check that Brandon receives. Brandon has three jobs so as you can imagine, Ten Percent can add up pretty Quickly. When he told me the amount we were paying I have to admit, my mind began to wonder. We discussed all the bills we could pay off with the money and of course all I could think about were all the new clothes and shoes I could use the money on. "LOL Sorry it's my Guilty pleasure".
In the end we payed the tithe of course:)
Then, today Brandon received a package with out a return of address. The package included a card, Thanking Brandon for being so kind on a flight they shared back in August. The card had money in it! The package also included some really nice head phones.
The point of my story is, I feel like in a small way God was reassuring us that we were doing the right thing. That by following the Lords commandments you really do receive blessings. My life has been so blessed this past year. I am so lucky to have my husband that strives to be such a great Christian and lead our family by example.
Today is a great day and I just wanted to express my love for the Lord above and thank him for always being there for me and my family!
I really like this little story Ash! Crazy that we both posted about little "miracles" in the past few days- we sure are lucky girls!!
ReplyDeleteHey Ash,
ReplyDeleteIt's Chelsie Strong (well now Harding). I have been wondering about you for so long and I found your blog today! I wanted to write and say hi. You look so good and happy and your little one is DARLING!!
When I begin paying my tithes it seemed a little hard and then one day someone said to me, " Well if it is to hard to pay your tithes because you are writing such a large check, maybe you can ask the Lord to reduce your Salary" Wow that was a wake up call...I got down on my knees and Thanked the Lord for his blessings and gladly paid tithes on every penny thereafter.LOL God will send us "Faith Builders" such as your experience just to reaffirm to us that he Loves us and he cares for us all the time.
