How Do I Give to God?

We were doing our phonics this morning and was studying the word "th".


Ethaniel: Ti-the.


Me: The word "tithe" means... If you receive THB100 from Dad, you give 10% to God, which is THB10.


Ethaniel: How do I give to God?


Me: You put it into the offering bag at Sunday school.


Ethaniel: *looking confused* But they take the money and give to the poor (obviously implying that they did not give it to God eventhough it was intended for Him)


* giggling*


Me: When you give it into the offering in Church, its like giving to God.


Ethaniel: Oh.


Now my little boy understands that God doesn't actually, physically or literally takes the money.


In the past, it must have been a daunting thing for this 6+ years old boy whenever we said, "We have to give our tithe to God". I would have given anything to know what he was actually thinking or imagining at that time ;-)
