My wife and I found early on in our marriage (still in college then found out we were pregnant on our year anniversary) that if we would tithe, somehow the dollars seemed to stretch. When we didn't, it was eaten up. We saw it so clear and it's never been a struggle to give since. I've had the same experience you did with a large offering we felt were supposed to give though it was pretty much all we had. We gave it in obedience and right after service, someone came up and said that God had told them to give us a check (and it was for the same amount). 'Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus...

The beauty of God's grace. 'Brings to mind this phrase from Ephesians: "...in accordance with the riches of God's grace that he lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding." How lavish the God who understands our needs. Not only for daily bread, but also for knowing and trusting Him more. Bridget, This brought tears to my eyes.

I've had the same experience with tithing. It's so hard to be obedient sometimes. Especially when the world is telling us one thing, and our faith is telling us another. Thanks for sharing it so beautifully. Oh, I love this. I’ve had the same experience with tithing. It’s so hard to be obedient sometimes.
