A very important lesson from my son
The toothfairy had come and left Hans his money for his tooth. It was so nice to see how excited he was but the best part came after. We had been telling Hans that he would get money but that once he got it he would need to pay tithing. I really wasn't sure if he had been listening and I was worried he was going to be mad giving up part of his money, but when the day come to pay it, the best lesson was taught to me by him. He came to me and said, " mom I need to put all my money in my tithing envelope" I was taken back on the fact that he was going to put all the money in for tithing. I explained to him that we would take 10% out for the Lord and that the rest of it was his to buy something. The face he made was one of excitment that he would be able to have some money for himself. At that moment I realized that he was not expecting to have money to spend and that he truely was willing to give everything he had gotten to the Lord. That is one lesson that I will never forget. I know that I am the parent and that I am here to teach my children, but I am grateful that they are teaching me as well.
