   "Our tithe check this week is somewhat   
   larger than normal. The week before   
   we left for the Feast my husband   
   asked his employer for his two weeks'   
   vacation pay in advance so we could   
   pay our bills before we left. They   
   usually don't like to do this but said   
   'Fine' this time. Well, the first pay day   
   after the Feast my husband received a   
   very large check which included another   
   weeks vacation pay. He took it   
   back and asked to talk to the bookkeeper.   
   He was called into the office,   
   and with the extra check and the stubs   
   from the previous vacation checks, tried   
   to explain what had happened. No one   
   in the office would accept responsibility   
   for the error. My husband kept   
   trying to explain to them until he felt   
   the bookkeeper was beginning to think   
   he was a complete idiot. There was   
   nothing to do but accept the full   
   amount very gratefully as a gift from   
   God. We are expecting our third child   
   in December and weren't looking forward   
   to having to pay the doctor bill.   
   Now our Father has so graciously supplied   
   the full amount for the doctor   
   plus more. And that is why our weekly   
   tithe is larger this week-it includes   
   our regular tithe, the tithe of the extra   
   vacation pay and a special offering to   
   thank God for the wonderful way He   
   cares for His Church."
