Test of honor indeed…….
Yes I have been asked to purchase things form time to time but nothing terribly expensive. If something comes up that will be on the costly side….it is purchase for me and sent to me………
It is not wrong to ask for the money for your purchases on his behalf.
I have never been left holding the bag if that is what you are asking. This is something you have to gain trust with. Were you covered with small things and can you trust your Master with bigger things? I can.
That being said……..its along the lines of lending money to friends or family. Ever tried to get that back? Its uncomfortable to ask…..and they look at you as if you asked for their left kidney!
It reminds me of the cartoon Popeye. Remember Wimpy? He was always asking for money for hamburgers that he would gladly repay on Tuesday.
