Church yesterday and how it relates to our finances

Wow! we had a visiting speaker yesterday and his message was powerful. He discussed forgiveness and coveting what our neighbor or fellow Christian has.

Have you ever heard the phrase "why do they get all the breaks" or 'why do they get everything handed to them?"

I know that there are times when I compare my possession to the possessions of someone else. Did someone get to go on a trip and it's not in your budget? Did someone get an expensive new house or gadget and you wonder why you can't have what they have?

Do we make assumptions on how people get things? Do we question people's choices?
It's really none of our business and we need to focus on what we are doing right or wrong in our own lives.

God says that we are to be concerned about our own business and not the finances or possessions of someone else. Most American's have so much more then most people in this country and we need to be thankful for what we are blessed with.


We as an American's think that we are entitled when we aren't!

The forgiveness part of the sermon was cool too. A very Godly relative heard this sermon and told me that he harbored bitterness towards someone from over 30 years ago and he had to give up on it.

I am the same way! I am to forgive as God forgave us!


There will be lots of fun money saving stuff happening this week and I can't wait to share!
