Happy Birthday Yeshua!!! Yes, I am for real!I am being completely honest with you. I had enough money in my checking account and I wanted to finally tithe as the bible says to do. I have never done that before. I am happy and have tears now too. It was the right thing to do and I feel better that I did it because I have felt guilty for not giving the 10% tithe before. Was difficult for me to do it but I am so happy to have done it. |

Happy Birthday Yeshua!!! Bless you Op, World Vision is doing unbelievably good work around the world. People like you are angels on earth. Truly inspiring! Quoting: Anonymous Coward 24406701 Thank you. I am not posting this to get responses of praise. I just want to get right with God. I thought that it would be great to perhaps inspire others to do the same because that is the true meaning of Christmas. It is because we all of the world received a free gift of our loving savior who gave his life that we all might inherit heaven. Jesus gave us the ultimate gift, he is the reason for the season. |

Happy Birthday Yeshua!!! Good for you OP. I took up a collection at work that I will match after this week. I will do the same thing thru the heifer org. Here's how synchronicity works. I got the larger sized catalog at my house (don't know how, just random mailing I guess). I was immediately inspired to make up a sign for my office and invite whoever wanted to participate. Well, I got busy, put it off, opened the mailbox at the office the next day and there were TWO mini versions of the big catalog, so I marked them Office Copy, wrote up a sign and so far we have $86.00, if I get some more this week, I will match and see what we can afford. Only about 5 of the 20 people who come through my office gave but that is OK. I'll do it every year from here on out and you are right, it feels great. Also heard a recent survey that 45% of people wish we could just skip over xmas (the commercial part). I'm thankfully out of the loop and don't miss it a bit.

For me, I have a business and have 3 full time employees. I can ask them to donate and whatever they donate, the business can also donate! That will be a great idea!!!! Thanks for that suggestion. I am going to get out of the materialistic approach of Christmas. That is not what JEsus would want. He would want people to do similar things to this, any way one can serve his kingdom whether it be giving of your time, your resources, your heart, your talent, anything that is given maakes him very happy. |

I realized that the price seemed pretty high for a 3rd world poor country for those animals. But, where am I going to be able to do this myself to get them cheaper? I thought that my donation could have gone to one of the local churches but then what are they going to do with the money? Buy new speaker sound system for the church because the old ones are 10 years old? To me, this sounded like a way to make the donation count in a more meaningful way. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 19490298 73.2% for heifer goes to the program [link to www.charitynavigator.org] It is still good to give. There has to be some administrative costs to make the whole thing work. I dont think that these people running these charities are getting rich off the donations. However, even if that were the case. It would be their sins and not mine. God knows my heart and it doesn't matter tah much, I did the right thing. Better to have given what I did before the year 2012 comes to an end, then to have not done it and used the money for some things my kids and I don't really need. |
