Robbery!

So last night after our huge sweeping victory over our opponents in softball, I walked to the parking lot to find that my car had been broken into. Some punk broke out the side passenger window and stole my duct tape wallet! That's right DUCT TAPE!! I had that wallet for almost two years! Go to Welcome to Ducktown on facebook and my friend Krysta can make you one! Anyways that is beside the point. Needless to say we had to call the credit card companies to put a freeze on our cards. Today, I got the car window replaced and a new drivers license. $175 dollars later I reflect on what would possess someone to vandalize someones property and take something that clearly does not belong to them. I wondered what he thought was in that fancy duct tape wallet. I mean really man was $175 worth of damage worth 18 bucks? He probably didn't notice the two car seats sitting in the back, and that I would have to explain to my children why some bad man busted out the car window to take daddy's wallet. But, I realized something today. I am no better than than man. I steal from God all the time! My time, my possessions, my money. I mean really. If we ALL did our part in truly giving back to God world hunger would cease to exist! Now don't get me wrong I am not a Socialist. I am just saying it is our responsibility to take care of the orphans and widows. To help those who cannot help themselves. Let me put it this way. We are having a yard sale Thursday, and there is SO MUCH junk we don't need. We store and hoard useless stuff, and don't give a second thought about it, meanwhile there are children digging through trash dumps just to find something useful for their hut. If I ever become wealthy, I want to become wealthy with an open hand and not a closed fist. The reward is is not in what you get, but what you give. By not giving you are not only robbing God, but robbing yourself of the incredible blessings of your generosity. So, who is worse? The thief who stole $18 or me? The answer is me.
