Vital!!

Giving correctly is so vital to your life that God gave you the best example... He did it Himself first!

Tipping: A form of giving...Being thankful.

Lets continue of lesson on tipping. This is a sore spot for me mainly because most people don't know how to do it properly and in most cases don't care enough to find out how to do it properly. Lets start with dining out, the general rule of thumb is 15% gratuity on meals, right, right. However what most people fail to realize is that is the minimum amount to start tipping...not the max.

I am amazed when I go out to eat with folks and observe how they conduct themselves (we won't talk about that right now) and how they handle the tip. A lot of people botch the tip because they don't know what it is or what it means. I personally believe they messed up when the word "tip" started being used in stead of gratuity. For one the word tip usually brings to mind something small at the top of something like, the tip of the iceberg, or tip top of the mountain, or tippy toes, see what I mean. Gratuity, on the other hand is not only a bigger word, 8 letters vs 3 (smile), but it is a form of showing thankfulness, a genuine appreciation of an act or deed.

More to come...

Something to think about...

The next time you are tempted give your server a dollar tip remember the look on your kid's face when you said "here son take this dollar and go have a good time"... Yeah uh huh.

Even though the server can't say it I'll bet they're thinking the same thing your kid was.

A fun Idea!

Take someone to lunch! It's a wonderful way to sow into someones life and provides a great opportunity for fun and fellowship.
Use your giving fund call a friend and say "Hey, I want to take you to lunch today, what time can we get together?"
Then go have a good time making someones day!
