Manic Monday
Goodness busy day today, saw a surgeon about a growth on my thyroid that is getting bigger. I guess we are gonna do a needle biopsy to see what that shows. If we don't get a definate diagnosis from that we may just take half or even all of it out. It's doubled in size the last couple of years so gotta do something with it.
The lesson today is about the importance or maybe lack of importance of montery issues in our lives. So many of us tend to put too much importance on making and getting money and lots of it. Sure it's nice to not have to worry about money but too many people put so much emphasis on it that they lose all the joy in life trying to get just one more dollar. Most of us could get by with much less than we do. I know I look at some of our friends with motor homes, boats and new cars with envy until I realize that they are in hock up to their eyebrows. We own our home, cars and have very few monthly bills so we do OK. I would much rather drive a 10 yr. old car than have to worry everynight about being in debt. At least I can sleep at night with out that worry. I would urge us to see if there is anything we can do with out this week.
God bless!

Hi Karen,
I understand about money. After my divorce, I wracked up a lot of credit card debt, which I did out of fear. A lot of it was to spend time with my kids, airfare, hotels, etc. A lot was just impulsive spending because I thought I could not live without something.
Now, I am on a fixed income, and I am making it month to month, but still worry sometimes. I do have a part time job, which varies, when I am healthy and not wearing the boot. That helps. Still, I am content with my current situation, though sometimes ashamed because I can't afford a big house like my ex.
God is providing me with all of my needs. Not all of my wants.
He is Good ALL the time.
Hugs,
Trish

Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.

That's so true how we often use things to fill emptiness and it just never works. I've been on welfare and worked myself, then married hubby and he made excellent money, then he retired and even with good planning ahead it's getting to be payday to payday. The economy just didn't care about his planning. So we aren't in the position we'd hoped for but we do make the bills so csn't complain. God does always provide for our needs!
