I have to believe it just because I've seen it happen over and over and over again. And not just when I give in the offering. Every single time that I've made a photo DVD for someone (I make funeral videos for our local funeral home) and not charged them, within a day or so, I've had 3 or 4 more to do that were paying jobs.

My mom had an interesting experience with this. We were never rich people. One time at Thanksgiving, someone brought her a turkey. Then my dad got a turkey from work. So she gave one of the turkey's to someone who needed one, leaving us with one for Thanksgiving. The next day, someone else gave her 2 turkeys! So she gave those both away. Within a couple of days, my cousin called. She worked for the food bank and they had an abundance of unclaimed boxes that year. She wondered if Mom would be willing to take some food. Mom, of course, said yes. (she had 5 kids to feed!). This cousin brought her out FIVE boxes of food - and each box included a turkey!!!! Mom said she was almost afraid to give away any of those turkeys. Every time she gave one away, the ones left seemed to multiply!!
