Tithing Time

I just cannot seem to shake this thought, but I did not quite know how to put all of these thoughts together, and then this morning at church, it all came full-circle for me. So here is the deal~ I fully understand the concept of tithing, and the enormous blessings that come with it. Josh also preached a GREAT sermon on how everything that we have has been given to us as a gift from God; all He asks is that we give 10% back to Him, and to make that 10% our 'first fruits'. God gets the 1st, and the best from us. But I am a stay at home Mom, and earn no income of my own. I know that we tithe as a family, and I know how richly blessed we are because of it. But I have often felt that by not being able to tithe myself, I, personally, I am missing out on blessings. I have had this thought for a long time now, and several months ago it came to me that because I am able to stay home with our children, what I have to give is time. I need to tithe my time. And it needs to be my priority, my 1st time of the day, and the best that I have to give. God has blessed me with every moment. What He is asking for is my time. Prayer. Devotions. Study. Helping. Giftings.
