Conversations and Celebrations
This week we focused on a story that highlights one of our favorite principles — giving. We shared the story of a man that attends Marilyn's church, but didn't grow up in church. He was in the habit of giving off the bottom, which is to say that as many people do, he gave from money that was left, after paying bills.
He changed his mentality from giving off the bottom, to giving off the top — giving first, before paying his bills. Once he honed in on what he valued and trusted the process, he found he actually had more money left at the end of each month, rather than less!
