PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, NOVEMBER 30, 1984
though I must confess to some apprehension, we both looked for­
ward to seeing how God would choose to deliver us....
A mere month after
I
had lost my job, God gave me a job "out of
the blue"--a job
I
was not qualified for and that didn't seem to
me to be what
I
was suited for.
I
even tried to turn the job
down, but the company wouldn't take no for an answer! This was
for a professional position that could have drawn hundreds of
qualified responses had it been advertised.
I
had up to that
time a great deal of difficulty finding a job that really seemed
to fit me, despite considerable career counseling and research.
It turns out that this new job fits me to a tee, utilizing apti­
tudes
I
didn't even know
I
had!
I am earning more than
I
ever
have, and have a very bright future. And, by the way, the com­
pany's owners are Jewish so I have absolutely no problem with the
Sabbath or Holy Days. (I even get paid for the Holy Days!)
We could go on about our other blessings--and they are many--but
we hope the foregoing can be encouraging to others facing a third
tithe year with all the physical evidence saying "it won't w6rk!"

&
Mrs. G.G. (Wauwatosa, WI)
This concludes my third tithe year. It is the first year that I
have been able to observe the third tithe year law. My contribu­
tions have amounted to hundreds of dollars, while my blessings
have amounted to thousands of dollars! The blessings have been
in the form of work done on my house and my car free of charge,
clothing, and cash, not to mention a total lack of medical ex­
penses, due to God's protection of my health and safety.
God returns all that we give Him and He multiplies it many times
over. I'm grateful to be a part of His Church.

We are now coming out of our third tithe year and feel most abun­
dantly blessed! We had some painful spiritual lessons to learn
that were worth their weight in gold. We were also able to pay
off some major debts during our third tithe year. The physical
problems that arose were taken care of. Within a period of 14
months we were given two automobiles (very much needed) of fine
quality, and some marginal equipment has held up. Since being
back from the Feast we have received a large check from the
government and been contacted to receive a load of free fill for
around the house. Thanks to God there is even more than the
above.
May God help us to be properly thankful
to
Him and have a right
attitude of giving and unselfishness in deep, sincere, caring
love.
