SUZANNE
I enjoy watching children during the Offering portion of the Worship Service.
When they see that plate headed their direction, they are clamoring to find money to put in it. At our house, when the boys were little, they would remind us, “I need a dollar for offering!”
At what point do we lose that childlike enthusiasm for giving? I see very few adults who chase that plate down if it doesn’t come their way!
Giving should be from an abundance of what the Lord has done for us. Not just financially, but with our energy, time and efforts. Giving back to the Lord should bring Joy in our hearts. Second Corinthians verse 7 tells us, “God loves a cheerful giver!” and verse 11 continues that “your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.” Be cheerful, and give generously!
For Central United Methodist Church, I am Suzanne Cain.
