Psalm 54:6 "I will sacrifice a freewill offering to you; I will praise your name, Oh Lord for it is good."
Do we give our money, our time, and our talents joyfully? Do we give with a joyful heart, like a child? I remember when Hannah was younger and still some today, that she would get so excited to see the basket pass by her and she always asked me if she could put the envelope in the basket. Now granted the money wasn't hers to give but the action of excitment of placing the envelope should be the way that I give my tithe. When asked to give my time for a work day at the church do I do that with joy? I realize that I haven't worked at a church workday, can't remember if there was always something else going on or if that was the only day that I could sleep in. Honestly not putting my time forward joyfully. Lastly, what are my talents, my spiritual gifts? Do I use them for the Lord when asked or when necessary? Maybe I need to look into some of these things.
Give like that of a child for the Lord is good and we/I should want to tithe all that I have to offer because none of it is mine to keep.

I just wanted to tell you how encouraging and inspiring your blogs are! I just stumbled onto them by accident. I'm home sick today, missed church and have been laying in bed looking at the sunshine when I decided to do the infamous google search on my new married name, Amy Sexton and your blog popped up.
It's amazing how God can work joy into mourning and what a wonderful testimony he has given you!
My husband lost his father when he was 5 years old, it's hard thing to go through and I am so thankful we have the hope of a second coming when we will be reunited with our loved ones!
Thank you for sharing such inspiration verses and thoughts and blessings!
