Kathryn Andrews Fincher's charming "Be a Cheerful Giver" tells the story of three children at church - each with his or her own idea of giving. The expression on each child's face is very telling. The little girl is happy to make her offering. And while the older boy is resigned to his fate, the younger one is unsure - will he or won't he give as the plate comes to him?

 "Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly, will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not relunctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver."                                             I CORINTHIANS 9:6-7
