Waitressing....

Yesterday I was waitressing this table that required a lot of service, so when they left me the bare minimum tip I was pretty surprised, and a little insulted. As I was cleaning up the table however I realized that I do that to God all the time!

I understand that there are more things than money that we use to honor God, but we are commanded to tithe ten percent. Now, as a waitress, when someone only tithes ten percent, it kind of means you (as the waitress) didn't do a very good job, and therefore only deserve ten percent, the bare minimum. (Or at least that's my understanding :P)

So, when all I am doing is giving God ten percent I am only giving Him the smallest amount that I can give. I don't know what exactly I'm saying to Him through this, but whatever it is, I was challenged to not only tithe more than ten percent, but to also give more to local and foreign missions.
