I estimate that having the closest Starbucks 75 miles away from me has saved me about $400+ over the past 9 months, (before that though a dear friend was recharging my Starbucks card for some of that time..) WOW! The things we do and where we spend our money...
What do you spend your money on? What is it that makes you crack open your wallet and pull out a few bills? Comfort, pleasure, ease, enjoyment, entertainment, fun, excitement...?
Listening to a friend's sermon on Mercy on my iPod made me think about what we do and how we spend our money.
There are 2.8 billion people that live on less than $2 a day.
Jesus said it well, "Where your treausre is that is where your heart will be also..."
I am happy that I have been able to with little whining or complaining give up my Starbucks fix. I have been able to focus on more important things with money, like others and ministry...
May God help us all to discover the wise way to use what He so generously gives us!
