Reviewing the Cain & Abel lesson

Hey peepz,

my first post here, yay! Anyways, I'm posting to share of a little lesson I learnt yesterday. During the Cain & Abel lesson we were going through how we should always give our best to God as elaborated in the lesson where Abel chose his finest firstborn lambs to offer to god while Cain gave his run of the mill stock as an offering. I distinctly remember that while reading that verse, I was thinking to myself "What a fool Cain is! How can anyone not give their best to God!? Idiot..."

But lo and behold, just a few hours later before I slept; I was taking money from my ang bao stash for tithing the next day. At first I was giving amount $X as that was 10% of what I had received. But then I remembered my mom had just given me a substantial ang bao, which would have raised my tithing to $Y. But despite that, I insisted to myself that amount $X was sufficient.

Upon reflection, it shamed me to realize how quickly I forgot the lesson we learned earlier in the day and how quick I was to judge why Cain was unable to give God his best! Amazing how God teaches us lessons =) And no worries, I'll be tithing the difference next week.

thats all folks! Have a blessed week ahead
