Initially my concern or irritation I guess, was the things being donated that weren't being used...but then I thought again and wondered if there was something else they were being used for.<br />I stopped donating to organizations because I became irritated that the bulk of my donation wasn't going to what I wanted it to be going for. <br />I suppose I content myself with giving a larger fast offering, knowing that all of it will be given to people who need help buying food, clothes, paying bills, etc...Having Shane be ward clerk for a few years really gave him an insight into what fast offerings really do.<br />I didn't realize we paid very much, it was what I was taught to do, but when we met with our financial adviser he was impressed with how much we donated given our income level. I looked at him in shock, and told him I felt like we didn't give enough.<br />I don't envy the rich. I think it would be difficult to determine how much was enough? How many starfish should I, could I save?<br />Being where I am at now, sure more money would be nice but I have to content myself knowing that if I had more, I would give even more.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01267053054506393821noreply@blogger.com
