"When serving a meal, it is much easier to set one more plate at the
beginning of the meal than it is to find food for a latecomer once the meal is
over and the food has been served. Likewise, isn't it actually easier to give
the Lord the firstlings or the firstfruits than it is to hope that there are
sufficient 'leftovers' for Him? As the founder of our feast, shouldn't He be the
guest of honor, the first to be served?
"My loving mother, Evelyn Robbins, taught me the law of tithing when I was
four years old. She gave me an empty Band-Aid box, the tin kind with a snapping
lid. She taught me to keep my tithing pennies in it and then take it to the
bishop. I am eternally grateful for her, for that Band-Aid box, and for the
blessings that have come from paying tithing." - Lynn G. Robbins, "Tithing-a
Commandment Even for the Destitute," General Conference, April 2005
