Especially for LDS and Friends!

I thought this would be fun for Sundays - and since tithing was brought up by Sarah Rae I thought that would make a great one for today. So here is a quote from President Gordon B. Hinckley on tithing:

"We can pay our tithing. This is not so much a matter of money as it is a matter of faith. I have et to find a faithful tithe payer who cannot testify that in a very literal and wonderful way the windows of heaven have been opened and blessings have been poured out upon him or her."

As part of the Sunday quote and thought I thought it would be fun for people to share their experiences with the topic (and feelings) should they wish and feel comfortable doing so - I think we are strengthened and draw closer as we talk with each other.

And now, on the light side - I love humor - so here you go:

As a young man, Brother Jones made $100 a week and faithfully paid $10 tithing. As he grew older, his business prospered. When he earned $50 a week, he paid $50 tithing. When he earned $1,000 a week, he paid $100 tithing. Soon, his tithing amounted to $500 a week.

When his bishop visited his palatial home, Brother Jones complained, "I just don't feel good about paying $500 tithing a week. That's a lot of money."

The bishop replied, "I can understand that, but why don't we pray about it?"

"What good would that do?"

Well, we could ask the Lord to reduce you income to the point where you felt good about paying tithing again."

Hope that gave you a good chuckle! Have a wonderful Sunday!
