A story is told by the pastor as follows:
There was a little boy, Bobbie, who came home from school and asked his mother what was for supper. She replied that they were having pork chops. Bobbie looked into the oven to see four pork chops cooking. There were only three people in his family, so he assumed that the fourth pork chop would be for the dog. At supper that evening, dad was extra hungry and ate two pork chops. All that was left at the end of the meal were the bones. Bobbie gave them to his dog and said, "I hoped to give you an offering, but all I have is a collection."
An offering is firstfruits. A collection is leftovers.
