"He made a whip out of cords and rove them all out of the temple area, with the sheep and oxen, and spilled the coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables, and to those who sold doves he said, "Take these out of here, and stop making my Father's house a marketplace." John 2:15-16.

Thank you for your generosity
It is God who gives me time.
So in gratitude, I give some of my time to God.

It is God who gives me the skills I have.
So in Gratitude I make sure that I give away some of my abilities for God's good work.

It is God who gives me possessions.
So, in gratitude, I give some off the top to God.

Gratitude, thanksgiving is at the heart of our relationship to God.
