Ceci Linares ofrece testimonio acerca del diezmo. Ceci Linares offers a testimony about tithing.
En el servicio hispano el 7 de octubre, Hermana Cecilia Linares ofreció este testimonio acerca del diezmo.
​
Nací y crecí en la iglesia católica, estudié en colegio católico hasta el bachillerato y me enseñaron a dar ofrenda siempre en misa, y me gustaba hacerlo. Cuando la recogían y veía que pasaban el canasto , y ponía el dinero , me sentía tan bien que no sé explicarlo. Pero era una gran satisfacción de poder ayudar y cumplir con mis compromisos como católica.

Tengo 20 anos de ser Cristiana y desde el primer día que me explicaron del diezmo, yo lo hice. Dezmé siempre y durante los últimos 12 anos que no trabajé pues cuidé de mis hijas, mi compromiso fue y sigue siendo dar mi tiempo, trabajando por y para mi iglesia. Dios me ha bendecido siempre en mi vida con mis hijos, esposo , con toda mi familia.

​Hoy trabajo de nuevo hace unos meses y  este trabajo es un regalo de Dios, puedo estar en casa y seguir al cuidado de mis hijas y esposo, yo le prometí a Dios ser fiel a él con mi diezmo, y de mi sueldo es lo primero que yo aparto cada semana. El diezmo es 10% de algo pero  los cristianos, debemos diezmar por amor, con lo que nuestro corazón sienta. Dios ama al dador alegre, puede ser más o menos. 

Nuestro diezmo económico ayuda al sostenimiento de la obra de nuestra iglesia, y si es nuestro tiempo, ayuda al crecimiento de nuestra iglesia, ayudando al prójimo , dando buenos testimonios, ayudando y apoyando a los demás cuando nos necesiten. Con palabra de Dios y oración, siempre hay una manera de diezmar si lo hacemos con amor.
At Hispanic worship on October 7, our sister Cecilia Linares offered this testimony about tithing.

​I was born and raised in the Catholic Church, and I studied in Catholic school through high school. I was always taught to give an offering at Mass, and I liked to do it. When the offering was collected and I saw them passing the basket, I would put the money in. I felt so good, I can't explain it. It was a great satisfaction to be able to help and fulfill my commitments as a Catholic.

I have been Christian for 20 years and, from the first day tithing was explained to me, I have done it. I always tithed. For the last 12 years I have not worked, as I was taking care of my daughters, my commitment was and continues to be giving of my time, working for and on behalf of my church. God has blessed me in life with my children, my husband, with my whole family.

​Now, I have been working again for a few months. This work is a gift from God. I can be at home and continue taking care of my daughters and husband. I have promised to be faithful to God with my tithe, and it is the first thing that I set aside from my salary each week. A tithe is 10% of something, but for Christians, we should tithe in love, with what our heart feels. God loves a cheerful giver, whether it is much or little.

Our economic tithe helps sustain the work of the church, whether it is our time, helping with the growth of the church, helping our neighbor, giving good testimony, or supporting others when they are in need. With the Word of God and prayer, there is always a way to tithe, if we do it with love.
