Tithing is always an important principle to teach to our children. In this General Conference talk, titled "The Windows of Heaven", by Elder David Bednar (October 2013), he gives wonderful examples and anecdotes to help people of ALL ages understand the importance of tithing. This is the last section from that talk. FHE lessons don't need to be long and drawn out. I am a firm believer of short and sweet. :) Make it memorable and helpful to the children and then stop! Instead of sharing stories that Elder Bednar shares, we can share personal stories of how Tithing has strengthened and blessed US in our lives.
An Invitation and a Testimony
The honest payment of tithing is much more than a duty; it is an important step in the process of personal sanctification. To those of you who pay your tithing, I commend you.
To those of you who presently are not obeying the law of tithing, I invite you to consider your ways and repent. I testify that by your obedience to this law of the Lord, the windows of heaven will be opened to you. Please do not procrastinate the day of your repentance.
I testify spiritual and temporal blessings come into our lives as we live the law of tithing. I bear witness that such blessings often are significant but subtle. I also declare that the simplicity of the Lord’s way that is so evident in the temporal affairs of His Church provides patterns that can guide us as individuals and as families. I pray each of us may learn and benefit from these important lessons, in the sacred name of the Lord Jesus Christ, amen.
Have a fantastic Family Home Evening with your family!
