There is not a day that goes by that I am am not proud of my three boys. I am reminded by this each and every day. This morning Jackson and I were talking about which church service we would be going to. As I was making sure I had clean clothes for all of us he went into his room to get his money.
About six years ago daddy and I made a commitment to tithe 10% of our income to the church. This is something we believe in and always talk about openly to the three of you. Recently we decided to give y'all a little more responsibility and more allowance. We also talked about the importance on giving your first 10% to church every week.
When Jackson walked out of his room he told me he had his money for church. He was holding $3.00. I told him "why do you have $3.00, you always bring $1.40". He then told me, mom I am giving over and beyond. This melted my heart beyond belief. He was getting everything we have been talking about. We then talked about how the extra money could go to the orphanage or help people right around us. I was in awe of his giving heart and hope this always continues.
The most important lesson I want to teach the three of you is to keep Jesus in your heart. Sure it would be nice to have a bigger house and a nicer car, but always remember to put your heart and your money into God's work. He will always take care of you. I am so proud of each of you and pray for you every day. You are turning into amazing young men and I am proud to be your mom. I love you the whole world and back again, Mom
