I am now 67 and trying to draw back on some things, while maintaining years of service to other ones at the same level. Others seem to think it is their job to stop me from doing that. I want to go where God leads me and also encourage younger peope to recognize the need for stewardship. We give much more than 10% to support our church and we keep getting asked for more. That does not account for all the charities we donate to that the church does not even know about, and now we are supporting flood disaster relief here, also helping those we know who are in need with cash donations that won't be tax deductible, <br />(in addition to flood disaster relief donations at church). It is exhausting to be put into this position over and over again. I wish they understood that we are giving sacrifically of both time and money, but they don't. I soothe my bad feelings about this by knowing that God is fully aware of what we are doing. HappyGramahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10530404945490753631noreply@blogger.com
