Tithing for free

I like to Tithe. We would all like to Tithe. Tithing represents gratitude for the manifold blessings bestowed upon you. Problem is that it costs too much! Often, come end of the month and we barely squeak by. There are no leftovers, how can we even consider tithing? Are we supposed to come up with the money out of thin air? So the conflict is that we want to tithe, we would love to tithe. We believe in doing good, we believe in kicking back. It’s all great and rosy. But we just cannot afford it. How can we lick this problem?
I have an idea how you can have your cake and eat it too; you can tithe fully, giving a solid tenth to charity, yet it will not cost you a cent. Sounds too good to be true?
Here is the secret sauce: you have gift cards in your wallet or purse, do you not? Perhaps your company has given out gift cards to its workers come holiday time, perhaps your in-laws have wanted to treat you and didn’t know what to buy so instead they gifted you with a gift card. You know that chances are slim that you will ever use that gift card. And even if you had, often the card is to a store so vastly overpriced that the fifty dollar gift card will buy you almost nothing. So it represents precious little actual value to you.
However give that gift card to charity, and you have given the real value to charity. GiftKard4Kids, a sister to Kars4Kids, is now accepting gift card donations. You receive a receipt for the full value of the gift card, and it cost you NOTHING! So when we say that you can tithe without it costing you a dime, we mean exactly that. You will not have to pay even as little as the postage! We give the postage. You give nothing but your useless gift cards (go ahead and keep the ones you will use!!) and you have given fully yet without hurting your finances in any which way whatsoever. Why not try it today? Go to GiftKards4Kids, you will be asked for your address, we mail you an envelope with postage, and you send us your gift cards. Could it be simpler?
