One night little Jenny whispered to her mother, “I’m going to buy Daddy a present for his birthday.”
Her mother smiled and said, “That’s fine, Jenny, but where will you get the money to buy it?”
“Oh, I know Daddy will give it to me,” Jenny answered.
Wasn’t that a good answer? Jenny knew that she had to go to her father for the money and that he would love to get a gift from her. This is also true of us as God’s children. Everything we have is what God our Father has given to us. He knows that what we give back to Him in love is what we have first received from Him. He thinks of the love behind the gift, just like Jenny’s father would.
