Most people instinctively know the difference between ordering at a restaurant and eating at a friend’s table—yet that same distinction somehow disappears in how they approach God. Proverbs 3:9 calls believers to honor the Lord with their wealth and the first fruits of all their produce, not as a business transaction or a path to guaranteed earthly blessing, but as an act of worship that reshapes what winning actually means.

Study Questions

The following study questions are AI generated and may contain errors.

The sermon uses the metaphor of a restaurant versus a friend’s house to illustrate two very different kinds of relationships. How does this distinction change the way you think about giving, prayer, and approaching God in general? What are the dangers of slipping into a transactional mindset where we treat God like a service provider rather than a loving Father?
God asks for “first fruits” rather than leftovers—the best and the first, not whatever remains after we’ve taken care of ourselves. What does it mean practically to give God the first of your finances, time, and talents? How might this challenge your current approach to stewardship, and what would need to change?
The preacher critiques prosperity gospel teaching that promises specific material blessings in exchange for giving. What is the difference between honoring God through giving and giving with the expectation of a guaranteed return on investment? How can we guard against turning God into, as the sermon puts it, a “blessing vending machine”?
Regular reflection on God’s past provision is presented as essential preparation for difficult seasons. In what ways does gratitude and worship-centered giving build spiritual resilience? Can you think of a time when remembering God’s faithfulness helped sustain you through hardship?
The sermon connects financial stewardship to the deeper question of what “winning” really means. How does our culture’s definition of winning through accumulation conflict with God’s call to treasure Him above material possessions? What specific fears or hesitations arise when you consider surrendering your finances fully to God, and how might a relational rather than transactional view of Him address those concerns?

It was dinnertime just a short time ago, and imagine that you decided you didn’t feel like cooking dinner and so you are going to go out to eat. So you get in your car and you drive someplace, and you walk in and sit down at a table. Someone walks by and you say, “What’s the special of the day?” The person tells you what’s cooking at the moment, and you say, “Well, I’ll take some of that and I’d like a drink. Here’s what I’d like to drink.” Maybe a slightly weird glance, but the person acknowledges, and that’s that.

But then, as you’re sitting there, you look over and see the oven in the distance; it’s still cooking, and you’re getting impatient because you’ve been waiting a while. So you say, “I’d really like my dinner,” and at that point, the person you talked to a bit ago says, “I’m your friend, I’m not a waiter.”

We understand the absurdity of what I just described. If you go to someone’s house and you walk in, you don’t sit down like you’re at a restaurant and order a meal. Whether you’re inviting yourself, which isn’t the most polite thing to do, or you’ve been invited, we understand it’s different than if we walk into a restaurant, look at a menu, place an order, and pay money. It’s a different situation. Hi, welcome to Steadfast. I’m so glad you’re here tonight as we continue in the Proverbs tonight. We’re in our series “Proverbially Speaking,” and that distinction I just described—the one between a relationship with a friend and the relationship we have with whomever takes our order at a restaurant—we understand that. Clearly, we know there’s a difference, but oddly enough, we don’t always remember the difference when we’re talking about God.

Tonight’s passage is going to challenge us to think about that, to understand what the difference is between the things that we do that we just place in order and the things where there’s a relationship. Certainly, with God, He wants us to relate to Him, not place an order. Let’s pray that we can understand that better tonight and that God would help us to realize the beauty of that too, because here’s the thing: going to a restaurant, the waiter doesn’t really care about you other than maybe getting a tip at the end, but the friend that you’re sitting at the dinner table with does—how much more so our heavenly Father.

Let’s pray. Father, thank You for this evening. We thank You for Your Word. We pray that You would help us to understand this next part of Proverbs, to apply it to our hearts through Your Holy Spirit, and to not just think about the things that we have and the things that we want, but to think about what we have in You. We pray this in Jesus’ precious name. Amen.

Just keep that “not really a restaurant” metaphor in your head as we read this passage because we see this passage come up. Similar passages get misunderstood, and that scene, that absurd scene, really describes what’s going on. Take a look at Proverbs chapter three, verse nine. You turn there in your Bible and see this: “Honor the Lord with your wealth and with the first fruits of all your produce.”

Say, “Wait a second, it’s about tithing?” Well, in a way, but not really. This is not a tithing sermon per se. This is how we understand material things in relation to God. And yes, it does say here in verse nine that we should give our material things to God. If we truly believe that God provides blessing to us, then if He asks for some of it back, should we give it? Absolutely.

And again, if you’ve heard a bunch of tithing sermons, you might think, “Okay, I’m done here.” Hang on a second because we’re going to get to something far more important about how we understand God’s care for us than simply what He’s asking of us, as we always see when He asks something.

But first, we need to establish the groundwork here, and that really comes down to, yes, God did ask the people from early on to contribute back. And what did He ask for? Not just something—not a membership fee, not whatever you happen to have in excess—but rather He asks for the first fruits. In other words, if you are going to say with your mouth—and today maybe even with your social media posts—that God is the one who provides blessing to you, are you going to start with the idea that then we should give back and express gratitude?

God says “first fruits.” Now, “first fruits” is, of course, an agricultural term, right? You go out to the harvest and gather the first things you harvest. God says that’s what you’re going to take from Him—not what you have left over but what you start with, the best. Also, even if it’s all indistinguishably good, it also makes sure that you give and don’t decide after a while, “I don’t really have anything to give.” Right? God doesn’t want us to think, “Do I have enough to give to Him?” No, He wants us to do it at the start.

You say, then, what you’re really saying with that metaphor about the restaurant is that God really is like the restaurant, right? I pay the bill, and then God is going to hear my prayers or something? No, that’s not it at all. Rather, notice what He says here—let’s just pull this back up for a second: “Honor the Lord,” not “pay the Lord,” not “give God what He needs so He can survive,” because He doesn’t need it. Rather, honor the Lord.

What God is really asking is, “Do you love Me enough? Do you honor Me enough that even the stuff that you don’t necessarily want to set towards Me,” which is often our money, our resources, “that even that is something that I want to have before My God?” That’s what He wants us to wrestle with. But it’s not just about getting a membership. It’s about, “Are we actually saying, ‘God, you’re such a priority to me that even my money, which is sometimes hard for us to say, is yours’?”

It’s not just, “Yeah, I give an hour or two a few times a week,” it’s not “I read my Bible every day,” it’s even the things that we say, “Well, yeah, I can do all that, but I want my money for myself.” Are we willing to say, “No, not even that”?

Deuteronomy chapter 26 says, “When you come into the land that the Lord your God is giving you for an inheritance and have taken possession of it and live in it, you shall take some of the first of all the fruit of the ground which you harvest from your land, that the Lord your God is giving you, and you shall put it in a basket and go to a place that the Lord your God will choose to make His name to dwell there. You shall go to the priest who is in office at that time and say to him, ‘I declare today to the Lord your God that I have come into the land that the Lord swore to our fathers to give us.’”

Jumping ahead a little to verse nine, “He brought us into this place and gave us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey. And behold, now I bring you the first fruit of the ground which you, O Lord, have given me.” And you shall set it down before the Lord your God and worship before the Lord your God, and you shall rejoice in all the good that the Lord your God has given to you and to your house: you, the Levite, and the sojourner who is among you.

God says this. It’s not that He just wants some money from us. He doesn’t need it; He made it. He wants us to actually say, “I am so focused on the fact that God is the one who provides to me that I want even that before.”

So He told the people of Israel, when you go into the land, here’s what you’re going to do: you’re going to take your first fruits and it’s not just that you’re going to give your first fruits, you’re going to give them as a part of a time of worship where you’re going to reflect on how He brought you into this land and that He cares for you.

It’s like being invited over to dinner at a friend’s house and you take along the dessert, right? Why do you do that? Because you’re grateful for that time. It’s not, “Well, if I take that along, I could have had this dinner here at home. I didn’t need to bring a dessert.” No, you’re thankful for that time, and so you bring something to contribute to it out of thanksgiving.

That’s what God’s asking. He’s saying, “I want you to actually relate to Me, and I want you to remember that I’m the one who provides for you.” And why is that important? Well, it gives Him glory, but also it establishes us in our faith. If we’re not focused on how He has provided for us, if we don’t take the time to reflect on that and to be thankful for that, you know what happens? Well, when things get tough—and we’re going to talk more about that next week—we’re not really prepared. But when we actually focus on how God has provided and we do that on a regular basis, when we are able, when things are difficult, we’ll remember it.

One commentator noted that this is the only ceremonial law we should see show up in Proverbs. There’s all kinds of good things to do in Proverbs, but here is something that is referring to what people did as part of the ceremonial system: when they went and offered sacrifices, they brought their first fruits.

The point here, though, I think, is to say, “You know, yes, we as Christians are no longer bound to the dietary laws, for example.” We see that in Acts 10 just as an example. Jesus talks about that with His disciples and with the Pharisees as well. We see that we don’t go and offer sacrifices; there’s no temple, and Jesus is the ultimate sacrifice—we see that in Hebrews. So what’s being described here feels a little out of place in that, and sometimes we jam it with those things and say, “Well, it’s also a part of that, so I no longer need to do that.”

You know what happens? We start to associate what we accumulate with what we have because we don’t let it ever really come into the presence of God. I start to think of two isolated realms: what I do at church and what I do for God, and what I do over here when I punch the time clock and get paid.

The point of this thing is for you to understand Me, and that’s still relevant. It’s still relevant even if you’re not in a ceremonial system anymore. Yes, Jesus has come and offered the perfect sacrifice; we are no longer bound to sacrifice. His way is to get a foretaste of God’s forgiveness; He’s already provided it fully through Jesus. They were looking ahead to what they couldn’t fully understand yet; now they have it, now we have it—anyone who calls on Jesus.

But that doesn’t mean the need to have the right attitude has gone away. I think that’s why this shows up in Proverbs even while the other ceremonial laws don’t, because this isn’t just about ceremony; this is about wisdom. How do we relate to our God? Don’t forget that He’s the one providing for us.

Paul says in Philippians chapter 4, when he talks about the Philippians giving, that it’s not because he needs the funds, but that they can be blessed by the giving. And we say, “Well, that’s really nice.” Lots of people say that, and then they pad their pockets with it.

But when we’re actually giving to the work of the church, when we’re giving to God’s work here on earth, for example, here at Little Hills, we see that the offerings come in and they go out to missionaries. They allow us to do ministries like this, and they do all that. And what we see is that God takes what we give and He uses it so that we get to actually be playing a part in what He’s doing through that, and we get to see how that works. He could do it a different way, but He does that so that we’re actually getting to respond in thanksgiving to God.

And as we do, He says, “Now let’s go and see this reach more people. Let’s see this actually minister to people. Let’s see My transforming work go further.”

The way He’s challenging us to do is to be confronted with what are we really trying to accumulate.

Here’s what Jesus says in Matthew chapter 6: “Do not accumulate for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but accumulate for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy and thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”

Why does God challenge us on this? Because when we are holding it to ourselves, our hearts naturally gravitate to view our money as our treasure. When we reflect on our thanksgiving towards God, even our money is something that we offer to God now.

I’m not saying give away everything and be impoverished; God’s provided that to you to provide for yourself and your family. Those are good things. But when we say, “But it’s from God, so I’m going to give back in response,” it’s one way that we actually go through something that’s often painful for us that reminds us our treasure isn’t ultimately our bank account. It’s not how big our portfolio is, it’s not how much property we can buy, or if we can afford a boat or an RV or whatever, the things the world measures. Our treasure is in heaven.

Again, God’s not saying give up everything. He’s given this to you to bless you, and even you can use some of it certainly for things like vacations. There’s nothing saying we can’t even do some fun things with it.

He’s just challenging us to make sure that we’re viewing it in light of where our first fruit is for Him, because when we do that, we’re saying, “This isn’t my treasure; God is. This isn’t my treasure; His kingdom is.” That’s what I want. It shows that God is our priority.

But again, just look at this. We’re not going to read through this whole passage, but Deuteronomy 26:9 that we looked at a moment ago is all about thanksgiving. It’s not about gaining entry, but you can see there you’re celebrating the good things the Lord God has given you and your family.

And God says that—for whom? Well, for the average people in Israel, for the Levites, who are the—not really proper to say clergy of the day, but sort of the closest thing—there, the religious workers, they’re doing this. And those who are sojourners, in other words, people who have migrated from some other part of the world and come into the land, what are they doing? They’re also called to reflect, because whether they’re Israelite or not, if they’re here and they’re receiving blessing, they’re living in God’s presence, they should give. And likewise for us, we all need to break that part of ourselves where we think, “This is mine,” and say, “This is God’s.”

We’ve all tuned in on the TV or maybe on YouTube and we hear the commercial pitch, right? “Order now! Here’s a list of benefits of what is going to happen if you order now, and you need to do it soon—20 minutes, 30 minutes, the next day, next week—because the offer is for a limited time only.”

Oh, what am I describing here? Am I describing the latest version of ShamWow or OxiClean or something like that? No. Actually, what I was thinking of is a commercial, so to speak, that a pastor—and I don’t mean to be critical, but I use that somewhat loosely—put out before Easter this year.

I’m not going to mention her name; I’m just going to read what she said: “God will assign an angel to you when you give. He will give you prosperity. He’ll take sickness away from you. He will give you long life.” And then a set of bullet points went up on the video. Here’s all the things you get when you give right now. You need to give during Holy Week, and you’re going to get an angel guarding over you.

And then, “But there’s more!” I mean, literally with the infomercial script, there’s more. “If you give a thousand dollars, you also get a crystal cross.” Because, of course, on Holy Week, the thing we want to focus on about crosses is how fancy our cross can be, right?

I think we all recognize when we hear someone saying those things, it’s kind of icky. We feel in our gut this is not the way it’s supposed to be. And often when we hear something like this passage from Proverbs that we’ve been talking about, we immediately think of those times maybe we’ve been in a church that talked like that, maybe we’ve seen the televangelist like the one I was referring to who says that. But we know it, we say, “Ah, it doesn’t feel right.” We’re right to think that.

Why does it feel so icky though? Because we’ve just been talking about giving—giving to God’s church, giving to His work. A person saying that would say, “Yeah, you’re giving to God’s church; look at this video that’s up right here. Now I’m going to tell you some things from the Bible, and I’m going to tell you how they mean that you should send some more money in.”

Well, here’s the problem: did you notice that I described bullet points? Here’s the benefits. You’re going to get a guardian angel, a crystal cross, prayers answered, prosperity, good health. You’re going to get these things when you give, if you just do it the right way.

And what have we done here? We’ve turned God into a blessing vending machine.

And we say, “Well, that doesn’t feel right. That’s not like a soda machine where you press the Coca-Cola button and if you put enough cash, a Coca-Cola rolls out.” That’s not God.

I think we kind of know that, and yet what’s the difference? It’s the difference between a restaurant and going to a friend’s house. God isn’t a restaurant. We’re not paying our way. Right? If you sit down at the restaurant and say, “I have no money; give me some food,” and they’re going to say, “When you have some money, we’ll give you some food.” That guy, what are you doing? This is a restaurant.

Let me walk into a friend’s house and say, “You know, I wanted to bring dessert; I couldn’t afford it.” Your friend’s going to say, “Sit down, have dinner; I’m glad we’re together.” God isn’t about paying our way. He doesn’t have a blessing vending machine for us. God’s way isn’t that straightforwardly simple and mechanical. It’s far more meaningful because of the relationship, and He’s calling us to worship Him in every part of our lives.

And so we give even of our money, our possessions; we give of our whole lives. God wants us to actually wholly relate to Him. But we’re not doing it so we can get something, so we get that list of things. Yes, He does offer blessings, He says so, but not in that mechanical way.

Nonetheless, going on to the second part of this passage, what does God say when the people give? “Then your barns will be filled completely, and your vats will overflow with new wine.” Aha, there it is, right there. We’re right back to the infomercial: “You give, and your barn is full.” Well, I don’t care about barns, but I get the point, right? It’s material blessing.

I like what Derek Kidner says about this passage. He noted that this passage isn’t about making an investment but honoring God. What he meant by that is when we see it as, “Okay, that second part says I’m going to get blessing, so let me measure the rate of return,” right? I give God, let’s say I’m going to tithe and so I’m going to give 10, so I’m going to give that to God; now let me think about the ROI, the rate of return on investment. I’m going to get over the next five years or 10 years; where’s the prospectus on this, right?

That promo from that pastor sounds like a prospectus. It sounds a lot like what I hear when I’m listening to the radio and they say, “If you just invest in this retirement annuity, you’ll get money every month during retirement, and you can do all the things you want because you’re going to make all this money.” And then it says, of course, “Past performance doesn’t indicate future results,” and blah, blah, blah.

But small print aside, “Give some money; here’s what you’re going to get in return.” And when we’re putting money away in our retirement account, we want to know, “Am I putting it in the right place? Is it going to get the appropriate rate of return?” That’s not how we approach God.

The point here isn’t that at all. “Okay, I can give this, and if I give this amount, then God’s going to give me this amount of blessing.” We see over and over again that we honor God by giving right, and so what God’s really describing here is part of what we’ve been seeing for the last several weeks. When we turn to Him, when we dedicate more of our lives to Him, we say, “I want to live how You want me to live.” God brings fruit out in that.

Taking our finances, which are often the place where we hold on to most deeply and put way too much priority in, giving that to God—is that honoring Him? Yes. And so when we turn to Him rather than to what we can stockpile in this world, does God bless us? Yes, but not mechanically.

We’re going to get more into that again next week because sometimes we turn over everything to God, or it feels like it, we never perfectly do; and it doesn’t feel like it’s blessing at all. In fact, it feels like things are going wrong. This isn’t mechanical. None of what we read about in Proverbs is mechanical. It’s proverbially true. It’s not a very serious title, right? “Proverbially Speaking,” which means in general, when we do what God calls us to do, when we live in the ways that He says are wise, guess what? Things are going to go better for us.

When we say, even with our finances, “Yes, my finances are really God’s, and I want Him to be the top priority,” He often is going to use that in measurable and not-so-measurable ways to bless us. Yes. Does that mean I’m going to get 10% return or 20%? No. It may mean that God makes what we have go further. It still might be tough. I’m not going to promise that you always have ease. This is not a prosperity message.

But when you’re sitting there at your friend’s house having that meal and you come to terms with the fact that you didn’t order at a restaurant, there’s a lot of things you can’t measure that are good there, right? But it does say barns are going to be full. Why? Well, when we are actually living according to God’s way, a lot of times it does work well.

But the key thing is we’re not honoring God—we’re not doing that first part—if the only reason we do it is to try to get our barn full, or our wine press to overflow. We want abundance physically, because we are honoring God when we say, “Well, God, I’m giving this to You because You’re my stock portfolio.” We’re honoring God when we say, “God, I love You, and I love You even with my money,” which is sometimes hard for us to say.

“Yeah, I’ll do a lot of things, but I don’t want to do that. I’m not going to give You my money.” “Well, I’ll pray for five minutes longer.” That’s as well—it’s not a bad idea. But what are you saying when you say that your money is the one area You don’t want Me in, or You don’t want Me in fully? It’s uncomfortable. I don’t really, well…

Those of you that follow Steadfast or Little Hills, you know I don’t like going to these passages. That’s one reason why we preach in order, and, for example, we’re going through Proverbs 3 right now. The things I don’t love preaching about are there too because God’s given us His wisdom in all kinds of areas. And so here we are. This is the next passage, so we ought to listen to what God has to say.

But it is uncomfortable. But why is that? When you really think about it, if I were taking away the first fruits aspect entirely—just give more of your time, serve, pray more—none of us would feel uncomfortable, right? Even if we are always faithful in it. But when we talk about this, it is uncomfortable, and part of that—and it would be right to point this out—is because of abuses of it, pastors like the one I described earlier, where it’s just clearly an abuse of this, and it’s a clear way for that televangelist to get a lot of money and not necessarily honor God with it.

But I think part of it too is that we really don’t want to do this. It feels uncomfortable. God’s challenging us because I think part of the reason we hesitate is we still live life often like we’re trying to win, right? “Can I get a portfolio that’s bigger than I imagined or bigger than my neighbors or my relatives or that other person at work? Can I achieve these things?” And giving to God feels like it’s actually counterintuitive to that, at least if He isn’t promising and coming through on a guaranteed earthly rate of return that we can take to the bank.

Right now, if you listen to the baseball game at night or turn on the radio—at least here in St. Louis—I hear all the time: “Right now, because we just legalized sports betting in the state, there are a ton of gambling commercials. And the one company, their slogan is ‘Winning is everything.’”

What do all these commercials talk about? “Well, if you sign up for a new account and place a bet, then you’ll get bonus cash that can be somehow applied to the bet. You can’t exactly withdraw it, but somehow you can bet it, or maybe you bet money and you lose it, and on your first loss, they reimburse you,” all these different things with the idea, “We’re going to help you win. Here’s why you should do this.”

The question for us is, is earthly winning everything? Because often when we’re uncomfortable here, that’s basically what we fall into. I don’t want to make light of the fact that sometimes funds are tight and so it’s more complicated than that.

Again, we’re talking generally speaking here, proverbially speaking, but generally speaking, our hearts are always going to feel like we need more. To win, is winning everything? What do we mean by winning? God isn’t transactional.

That betting site, they don’t really care about you winning; they care about getting your money. That televangelist offering all those promises, that’s transactional, right? “You’re going to get prayed for by the ministry if you give money.” How awful is that?

I can promise you this: if you write into our prayer line that we mentioned, we don’t care whether you’ve ever given or ever will give. We want to pray for you, and that’s how it should be. It’s not something special. We’re doing — let’s pat ourselves on the back as Little Hills because we’re so good about that. That’s what every single church should do, and plenty do.

I want to say that we’re not unique in that, but it’s the way it ought to be. It’s the way that God calls us to be. It’s not about transactions. We don’t buy prayers; we don’t buy blessing. We’re blessed when we’re trusting in God and honoring Him. And sometimes it is an earthly blessing, and sometimes it’s in better understanding Him and being in better fellowship with Him because we’re saying, “I want my whole life before You, God.” And because of that, we experience more of His joy, more of His blessing in the heavenly sense.

Because where is our treasure ultimately? So where moth and rust destroy, or in Him? That’s what God’s challenging us. We need to think about that question of what is winning.

We think about freedom; we talked about that last night in Romans 6. We’ve been musing on that the last few weeks while we’ve been in Romans 6 and how freedom we often think of as “I can do whatever I want,” but true freedom in Christ is actually being the men and women that God’s made us to be.

Same thing here: we often think of winning as “I have more stuff.” But if we really want to talk about what’s winning, the true prize is being fully aware and experiencing the love of God.

You can have all the earthly blessings in the world, and if you don’t have that, it’s not really genuinely winning. God’s calling for us wholly—all the way across—our time, our talents, and yes, our treasures. He wants all of it.

He’s not saying we can’t enjoy our time or have free time. He’s not saying we can’t use our talents for just fun things or bringing a smile to somebody’s face—quite the contrary. He’s not saying that you can’t go out and have a nice meal or go to a concert or go on a vacation. It’s not about that.

It’s about, are we taking all of our life, every aspect of it, and saying, “God, this is for You first and foremost,” because what happens is He’s in every step of that, loosing us from that false freedom, moving us into His true freedom, moving us from a false sense of what a blessing is, that stuff, and into the true blessing of being in His heavenly presence.

May we all truly understand that. Pray with me, please. Father, we do thank You for Your Word, even when we don’t really want to talk about the topic sometimes. It makes us uncomfortable. But Lord, Your Word is true from beginning to end. And here’s the thing: we know, we know that You know what’s best for us.

You’re not saying this because You need it. You say very clearly in Scripture You’re not like those false gods were allegedly, where they’d get hungry or run out of resources to do something. You made everything. Everything belongs to You, Lord. You just don’t want us to forget that and in that lose the sense of who You are to us: our God who loves us, our heavenly Father.

And so in every part of our lives, would You pour Your grace in and take away those dark corners we hold and hoard and help us to instead experience more of You, experience the true victory—the true win, which is to know our God, to know how much He loves us? We pray this in Jesus’ precious name. Amen.

I hope this has been encouragement to you today. If you have any questions on it, you can always go ahead and use the texting line, which you may see right now on screen, or it’s just 833-356-4032. That’s 833-356-4032. Or the comments below—just jump in, ask a question, ask a prayer request.

Again, if you’re new to us tonight and you’re thinking, “Well, they won’t want to hear my prayer request; I’m new; I don’t belong; I’ve certainly never given,” I don’t care. None of us do. We just want to hear from you. We want to pray for you, so what we’re really here to do is bless each other because we’ve been blessed by Christ, and so it’s great when we get to hear from each other and encourage each other.

If you do have any questions, feel free, once again, to use that same contact method. You can either use the texting line or the comments below. It’s great to hear from you. I’ll look forward to seeing you again soon, and in the meantime, have a wonderful and blessed week.
