In 21ST Century Christian
Magazine a mother told this story: Our 3- year-old daughter was in the
habit of giving half of her 2 quarter allowance to God each week. One Sunday we
were out of town, so the next Sunday, we gave her an extra quarter to teach her
about “making up” our giving when we miss. She said, “Oh, good, I’ll give one
for God and one for Jesus.” We thought that was cute and didn’t think more
about it until the following Sunday. When it was back to the regular allowance
and she had only one quarter for the contribution, she started crying. We asked
her what was wrong and she said, “Where’s the quarter for Jesus?” Needless to
say, she got an immediate raise in her allowance! We are waiting to see what
happens when she finds out about the Holy Spirit.
That family was faithfully
teaching their daughter a great truth: that giving was an act of worship.
-- Jeff Strite in a sermon entitled "Giving as
an Act of Worship"
