Balancing the Books
Body
Every year about this time my wife and I close out our books for the year. There are usually papers scattered all over and we are busy helping each other to get everything added up. I always hold my breath to see if we have given enough to the Lord. It is our goal, or we try to give at least a tenth of our income. (Psalm 76:11). Several years ago, we were really busy and I didn’t watch our giving and when we totaled our giving we found out we had given very little that year. I felt so ashamed, and I proposed in my heart I didn’t want that to happen again. God has been so good to us, and we want to thank Him and honor Him with our giving. It could even be a way of saying thanks.
