Question of the day: What blessings have you received after faithfully paying your tithing?
I'm not sure I can think of one specific example of the blessings that have come from paying tithing, but I know unequivocally that the blessings to have enough have always been there.
These verses actually caused me to go back and reflect on how I pay my tithing, or organize my finances to be ready to pay tithing. I'm going to try something different this month and see if I feel any difference.
One other thing that has been a great blessing, when we do it, is to have a family council on the first Sunday of each month where we talk about fast offerings and other donations we can make. The children help us decide how much we will pay in these various funds. It is a blessing to hear the children talk through what they think would be appropriate. We don't pay a set amount for fast offerings any more. And we are now contributing a small amount for each child to the other donation categories as directed by the children. This month there was a special feeling as Kimball recognized that he wanted his money to go towards a missionary who just got his call. I don't think Kimball knows that that family struggles financially. When Kimball had made his choice the others all followed his example.
