Joy

This is going to sound strange - maybe not strange to all - but God has changed my spirit about giving.  I got paid last Friday - on the Monday before my paycheck I couldn't wait to write out my check to the church.  So I didn't wait - I wrote it out and again - I couldn't wait to drop it in the bucket!  We gave a little extra last week to a worthy organization and again - it felt GREAT!!  I was figuring out my bills - and took my tithe money off the top!  It's pretty amazing - I don't have the anxiety about money that I used to have.  I really believe and know that by being faithful and joyful in giving, I will be blessed for it and God will provide.  Besides, it isn't mine anyway - it all comes from God.
