i just want to take a moment and share what wonderful blessings our Heavenly Father has given us. i strongly believe that he has given us these blessings because we pay our tithing.
you can go here to learn more about tithing.
first, our brother in law recently started working for state farm. he gave us a quote for car insurance and renters insurance. turns out by switching to that company we end up saving about $30/month. well, i called our old ins. companies to tell them that we were going to be cancelling services with them. long story short they mailed us a check for almost the exact amount that we will owe for car ins this month. the point? we don't have to come up with that money this month! which means more extra money for paying for surgery bills!!
next, while they are not as big, we both have reliable jobs that pays enough to support our needs. the things that we can't afford we have wonderful family who help us with what they can.
I can't say enough wonderful things about the principle of tithing. it really isn't that difficult to give 10% of what we earn to the Lord, when he gave us everything we have.
