Gifts For Building The Temple – I Chronicles 29:1 – 29:20

Put What You Want in The Offering

Hoping to develop his son’s character, a father gave him a penny and a quarter as he was leaving for Sunday School. “You put whichever one you want in the offering plate,” he said. When the boy returned, his father asked which coin he had given. The boy said, “Just before they passed the plate the preacher said, ‘The Lord loveth a cheerful giver,’ and I knew I could give the penny a lot more cheerfully than I could give the quarter, so I gave it.” (2 Cor. 9:7) (Source Unknown).
