Third Tithe Blessings
What a wonderful third tithe year! I have been blessed with
financial aid for my college education, insurance money finally
came through for me from an accident I was injured in early last
year, tips have been more than ample on my part-time waitress
job, Holy Day leave has always been granted, income tax refund is
far more than I'd dared guess and thus my debts are paid.
Finally, this spring, my flowers are blooming.

We have truly been blessed in this third tithe year! Last week we
had a dining room set given to us (china cabinet, table and six
chairs). There have been so many beautiful things that happened to
us in this third tithe year.
I didn't know how we were going to make it financially this month,
and then a man stopped at our house and wanted to buy an old car
we had sitting for about two years here. And then a friend of mine
told me her friend would give me $50 for my old dining room table
and chairs. So, just like that, God did it again.

Even though I am in my third tithe year and having to struggle a
little, I can still see the hand of God at work in giving me
blessings and providing me with future blessings.
--John P. (Jamaica, NY)
I have just finished my second third tithe year. As happened during
the first third tithe year, I learned the lesson that one cannot
outgive God when one is faithful to Hirn. In my first third tithe
year I was blessed with the opportunity to buy a house. This year
I finished paying it off. During my six years in the Church, my
salary has more than doubled while expenses have been small. The
job I have is exciting and I've even had a chance to serve in Y.O.U.
(also very exciting). When I look back on all that God has poured
out to me in blessings, I can't help but think about Jacob who said,
"I am not worthy of the least of all the steadfast love and all the
faithfulness which thou hast shown to thy servant...."
--Armin R. (San Jose, CA)
We can truly say that God has kept His promise to bless us during
our third tithe year. Not only are our needs met, but God has
provided us with luxuries as well. We wondered how it would work at
first and I am still not sure how it works on paper, but we always
have enough.
