Alana's First Tithing Settelment!
It is time for ***Tithing Settlement once again. This is a great opportunity that each member has to sit down with the bishop each year and discuss the blessings of paying tithing.
This year Alana earned two dollars from a neighbor for "BEING CUTE". So, did what was right and paid 10% of her increase. She helped me fill out the slip and lick the envelope, then handed it to the Bishop.
Today was Alana's first Tithing Settlement with Bishop Bryan Anderson. I really was not sure what to expect being that she was TWO YEARS OLD, But Bryan did such a wonderful job of explaining to her what happens with the money from the time it leaves her hand. She really seamed to understand what he was telling her. He asked her questions and she answered accordingly. I was one proud Momma! She sat in that chair in front of the Bishop's desk very still, and all by her self. Chris and I watched from apposing chairs. When it was all done, the Bishop told her how proud he was of her and gave her a piece of candy...Thus sealing the deal.
***(At tithing settlement you will declare whether or not you have paid a full or partial tithing. During tithing settlement the bishop will discuss how your family is doing. He often will extend some sort of spiritual challenge to your family, such as reading the scriptures daily. Although the days are long for the bishop, the meetings are a time when he gets to meet with ward members in a positive meeting. Tithing is a commandment, but it is also a blessing. I know that my life has been blessed as I have faithfully paid my tithing over the years. I have had peace in my heart, because I know the Lord is watching over me financially.)
