Tithing Scares Me!

The furthest thing from my priorities right now is helping others. Whenever I read a self-help, or spiritual book and I come to the part about giving something clenches in my esophagus.

"Experiment: Do good for others but allow the good which by law will return to you to come from whatever source God chooses. Observe tat it will not necessarily come back from the same person to whom you have done god.  Keep a written account of unexpected good happenings."--Experiments in Practical Spirituality
 Today I donated $25.00 to the Network for Good.  I will keep my written account here.

  1. Someone posted this strange comment on another blog I have:  Anonymous Agoni707 said.
    "Jesus embraced families for real eternal years. Terrified Indian missionaries moaned sadly.Illusion Silenced. Another Nature. All loaded into endless nothingness!
    Agoni707"  Not sure if this is a "good happening" or not.
  2. No new developments as of the morning of May 9th; this could be a result of my expecting too much.
  3. Unexpected good happenings as of May 13, 2012...not many really.  My health remains iffy, but slightly improving. I'll keep you posted.
  4. I notified the company that made my $400.00 eyeglasses that they were abnormally scratched.  Although they said they do not normally cover scratching, they said they would replace my lenses for free!
  5. I received notice by mail that a $1,000 hospital bill had been reduced by half.
  6. Some people I am doing contract work for surprised me by inviting me to dinner at an expensive restaurant.
  7. McDonald's sent me a coupon for a free Extra Value Meal because they forgot to put in my hash browns last time.
Numbers 4 through 7 all happened in one day, May 16 2012.  It seems that perhaps the tithing worked.  No, I'm sure the tithing worked and I will continue to do so from this point forward.
