As we were sitting in church this last weekend, Nora was with us in big church because we were running late and didn’t want to take the time to run her all the way over to kid’s church and check her in. Our services are one hour… if you are ten minutes late, you miss the whole music section! She watched as her daddy wrote a check and stuck it in an envelope. She asked what he was doing. I explained checks…. the same as money, but you don’t have to carry the money. Then I explained tithing… giving your money to Jesus. She was aghast… “You have to give ALL your money to Jesus?” No, if you have ten dollars, he asks us to give one dollar back to him. Her eyes squinted slightly and she stared off into the distance while the wheels were turning in her little brain. Finally she asked me in a whisper, “How does Jesus get the money? He’s in heaven, right?” Yep. :o)
