Ever since I got my job, I decided it would be a good idea to tithe 10% of my paychecks to charities. Something I have noticed is all the money that I've given out, I've received back, but in greater amounts!
My parents, who usually don't buy me things (hence the job), bought me several items that are worth well over the amount I had donated. I've been finding dollar bills on the ground on an almost daily basis. My paycheck at work says I worked WAY more hours than I thought I worked (didn't really pay attention). I feel happier and healthier than I ever have.
I've read some Biblical passage saying, "Give, and it will be given to you; good measure, crushed down, full and running over, they will give to you. For in the same measure as you give, it will be given to you again."
I was quite skeptical on this until I had actually done it! I read another article saying how giving money for a good cause puts you in a mindset of knowing that more money will come to you, that's why you're able to give. Notice guys like Bill Gates and Warren Buffett have given generously. Hmmmm....
What I want to know is, do you guys know of any charities that actually handle the money properly so that most of it goes out to help people? Kids, people with disabilities, etc...? If you do, please post them here!
I strongly advise those of you with money coming in, to just give a little something once in a while! Most of us are so blessed financially (especially here in America), I believe the least we can do is share a little something to help others!
