A Simple Truth

   A few weeks ago, I sat down at the breakfast table to write our pledge check to the church. Johnnie, our curious, five-year-old son, picked up our offering envelope and asked, “Mom, who are you sending this envelope to?”

   Seeking to be a model parent, and hoping to impart some wisdom to my little boy, I welcomed this opportunity to teach him about giving. I replied, too simply as it turns out, “This is a special envelope. We are sending money to God.”

  Johnnie brought joy to my heart as he, looking thoughtful for a moment, said, “Mom, I hate to tell you, but everything belongs to God. This is just the part you're giving back.”
