We were visited by a old friend of mine. Pastor John. Him and his wife Connie came up to teach at Calvary Port Saint Lucie. Pastor John was my first pastor that I worked along side of at Calvary Ft Laud. I say worked with. When I first became a Christian, Pastor John was the over seer of all the classes that were going on at night time. Adults Education. It was Monday, Thursday and Friday night classes. I was at each one during those nights. Well I would get there early and help set up tables and chairs for the classes going on.
As I did that, Pastor John and I had some real good talks together. I remember one on tithing.
I told him, as I keep helping out at the church, I don't have to tithe? Well he set me straight on that one. Tom, your helping out is great and God loves that. We call that offering talents. But tithing, is something different. You need to tithe too. So I remember asking him, should I try to pay back the year or so I have not tithed? He told me just start the next week and that will be good. Which after that it has been a joy to tithe and see God's hand work in my life.
Around 6 or so each night I love to go down to the pool that is here. This is how it looks most times I come on down here. Empty. Which is nice.
I just love looking up and seeing clouds and how beautiful they look.
Tonight I was not alone. I looked down and saw this little guy or gal?
I am very blessed to call this place my home.
