"Celebrate the harvest
festival, to honor the Lord, your God,
by bringing Him a freewill offering in
proportion to the blessing He has given
you.
Be joyful in the Lord's presence,
together with your children."
- Deut. 16:10-11
“Now,
our God, we give you thanks, and praise
your glorious name. 14
"But who am I, and who are my
people, that we should be able to give
as generously as this? Everything comes
from you, and we have given you only
what comes from your hand. 15
We are aliens and strangers in your
sight, as were all our forefathers. Our
days on earth are like a shadow, without
hope. 16 O Lord our God, as
for all this abundance that we have
provided for building you a temple for
your Holy Name, it comes from your hand,
and all of it belongs to you.” - 1 Chronicles 29:13-16
