share and be blessed...

Sometimes when a kid ask a question, it is really difficult to answer it in a simple and clear way. Last Sunday M asked me during the mass, how come I am giving money as an offering every time and he said 'es ist geldverschwendung'(losing money). I just smile and said it is one way to thank Him and share our blessing. M asked again, why Daddy? I just look to my son and said, 'son they will use it to pay electric bills'. And M smile as a sign that the 'little' amount of money we share is going to be used for a good purpose.

Does it really matters to Him the amount that we share? Shame, shame and shame on me because the amount is not really that 'big' , to think it is just Euro 3.

And then someone whisper to me, 'it is not the amount that matters but how you give it' .

God's right timing

Have you been upset and frustrated when God is not answering your prayer and even wondering how come He is not doing something for quite long? Because we do not understand God's timing. Here are some tips on how to be stressed out and deal with the problem of WAITING.
