Reading: Isaiah 55: 1-2
Reflection: Each year on this day, there is a big celebration in Mifflin County, Pennsylvania, to celebrate "Goose Day." I grew up in Mifflin County and became accustomed to eating goose on this day. There would also be various events to celebrate Goose Day including a road rally, a 10 kilometer race, a cavalcade of bands, and other festivals. It was on this day in medieval times when a tenant would offer his landlord a goose to pay the rent for the year. Legend has it that if you eat goose on Goose Day, you will not want for money the rest of the year. Whether you believe in the old folk lore or not, I think there is another way that you can not want for money. A friend of mine once told me that if your monetary gift to the church is the first money you distribute from your paycheck that you will also not want for money. God will provide for you. I think tithing is important. We should give to God what is God's. Ten percent of all we make is the Lord's and we should make sure to give it to God. If you are unsure of doing that, try it and see how God does provide for your needs if you give your first fruits to God! --Chad Hershberger, Camp Mount Luther Director
