Take care of my family

I did these cards, with art on the fronts, for an experiment with a friend to build wells and feed orphans.

They were good but not real lucrative. I would not trade the experience though.

As I've been thinking about and hoping for another project to come along it occurred to me that tithing is like God asking us to take care of his family. I've never thought of it like that before but any act of charity or kindness is essentially that. When we give, we are providing for the larger body of people somehow.

I don't think we are required to do it but I think God is really thankful when we do step up. It is not unlike a mother or father providing meals and care for children, it is not unlike vets or doctors caring in their ways either...

Will you take care of our family here on earth? What will you do? How will  you do it? I am asking myself as much as you...
