Tithing

So, I just have to say that tithing is pretty much the biggest blessing giver in the world. Last saturday I borrowed a friends car to go to salt lake, and the trip went just fine, until upon arriving home, I decided to fill the car up with gas. I got to the gas station, slid my card and got ready to fill it up, when I realised that I had no idea how to pop open the gas cap cover thing... So i searched and searched and couldn't find the button so I got ready to leave. Before leaving I checked the screen and it looked like my card had cancelled. So I went home and found out where the button was and was off again. I returned to the gas station a few hours later and put about 6 dollars of gas in. When I got home I checked my balance, and i only had a few dollars in my bank account which suprised me because I had over a hundred when I had left. A charge was on my balance of 100 dollars that I was supposed to have charged at the gas station about 2 minutes after I had left. My card had not really cancelled, and whoever went after me had charged their gas to my card. I freaked out. I mean this was ALL of my money, ALL of it! So I called the bank, they were closed, and called the lost or stolen card number and they couldn't help me, (side note: I love how they put that number on the back of your card! Like you'll really have your card around to see the number if it's been lost or stolen! oy...) So finally I went to the gas station, and at that point they couldn't help me yet. So I spent the day freaking out, and on sunday I went to church and paid my tithing with a check. I had to transfer my savings into my checking account to pay for the tithing but I thought it would be worth it. So, when monday came and my tithing check was yet to go through and I had less money in my account than could cover it, I was totally freaking out. The Irony of it all, My tithing check was going to bounce! Haha.. it's kind of funny when you think about it... But anyways, on tuesday I went to the bank and after talking to them I found out that they couldn't help me yet, so I was destined to have my temporary poorness. Dang dang dang... But here comes the blessing: Yesterday night when I checked my balance, the charge was completely gone, not like canceled, but like it had never happened in the first place. My money was back, and seriously I cried. SO the moral of the story? When in doubt, PAY YOUR TITHING.
