Tithing: A Blessing, Not A Burden

I don't know why I have to be reminded of this all the time! I have seen it in action plenty! So why, when things get tough, do I forget that and slack off on paying my tithing?

I have been waiting for my tax credit for buying my house since April. I needed it to come so badly. I started getting behind on things, so I thought I would not pay my tithing until it came, and catch it up then.

So, it's been about a month, and I start thinking I better pay something. On Sunday, I gave the bishop a check for half of what I owe.

Guess what is in the mailbox first thing Monday morning? The check from the IRS.

EVERY SINGLE TIME!! You think I would learn. Pay your tithing, and the Lord WILL look out for you. No matter what. I pray to be able to remember this and not have to stress about it again.
