Tiempo MIO

Yesterday at Bible study, the topic was totally on giving, and how many Christians don't give muvh, give cheerfully, or even give tithe! It surprised me at some people in group saying that they should start tithing. I guess I didn't realize how many people don't thithe. Anyhow, I think with me, it's not as difficult to give money (strange that I don't feel like that's changed even though I'm now trying to raise support). But it is difficult for me to give TIME. In Sunday school the other day, Diane, a missionary to Romania who's needed to come back to the States permanently for family reasons, said that she needed to find someone with a truck to help clean out the garage of the house she is living in with her niece (who she's now the guardian of). Well, I had monday and tuesday off, and we have a truck, so I blurted out "Oh, I can help!" Then monday, I didn't want to go because I wanted to relax more, and to work on a paper for post-training for I.T. But I went to help today, and I'm really glad I did. Was it a pleasant job? No. But I enjoyed it because it was nice to socialize with some church people who I don't normally spend time with. I enjoyed it because I knew it was helping Diane, and she was VERY appreciative. So I think maybe I can be less stingy with my time. If I go with a cheerful attitude, things usually turn out good. And God expects us to help others, evn if we're kind of busy doing things to please ourselves! ha! Anyhow, I am in the process of learning lessons about many things, including giving of my time!!
