Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.
Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation.
Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the Lord of hosts.
One of the events that I have been involved with for the past several years is Tithing Settlement. I know that it is the end of the year when we finish up Tithing Settlement. Tithing is an important part of preparing us to live with Heavenly Father, as we learn that all things come from Him.
Today, we also went up to Sugar City to have our "second Christmas". All the Bates family got together today to exchange gifts and, as you can see, we had a lot of gifts to open. The Windows of Gifts opened up today, as we spent a couple of hours opening up more presents.
We are very blessed to have such a great family - that is better than any of those presents that were opened that day.
ReplyDeleteWe do have a great family and it is fun to see the kids open up their presents.
