Blessings

A few weeks ago for Family Night we had a lesson about tithing. We explained the concept, that we're giving money to Heavenly Father, and that He gives us blessings when we're obedient. Then we let Kaylee practice paying tithing with Monopoly money. She was given a bunch of bills to count, and every time she reached 10 she was supposed to put 1 bill in an envelope.
After she had placed her full 10% in the envelope, she decided to put the other 90% in the envelope as well, explaining, "I want to pay ALL the money so I can have lots of blessings." She's setting a new standard that's going to be a bit challenging for the rest of us to comply with. I guess she's already prepared for the law of consecration. :)
