Unlocking the Secret to Joyful Giving (part 2)

As I mentioned before Drew and I have attended seminars, sermons, and classes that addressed the topic of money.  But something finally resonated in me when I read The Treasure Principle: unlocking the secret to joyful giving by Randy Alcorn.

We were given the book FREE from the Ron Salsbury at New Life in Pismo.  Finally, I am understanding the concept of having an eternal perspective.  While God owns everything, He has entrusted me with money, talents, a family, etc. and I am to be a good steward of those possessions.

The "Ah-ha" moment:
Suppose you have something important you want to get to someone who needs it,  You wrap it up and hand it over to the FedEx guy.  What would you think if instead of delivering the package, he took it home, opened it, and kept it for himself?...Just because God puts His money in our hands doesn't mean He intends for it to stay there!"  --pg.76 The Treasure Principle
