Emma

Yesterday I was reading Emma a story from the friend about paying tithing. It was about a boy who paid his tithing to the Bishop and then felt good because he had. After the story she asked why the boy needed to do that. I said to help people who don't have enough money. She then replied that she would like to give her money to Jesus, Heavenly Father, and the Bishop to help people who don't have enough money.
Emma does get a small weekly allowance for doing some VERY small jobs around the house. She does pay tithing on her allowance. I was impressed yesterday with her generosity and her ability to understand what I was talking about! I thought she would be too young to understand tithing but she was always wanting money so I thought I would start giving her a little. I remember in a stake conference hearing that a child's most influence age is three years old! I guess they really can understand more than I realize!

Here is a picture of Emma in a princess dress she bought with her allowance. She is a very patient money saver!
