Thanks for the money-saving comments! I'm alway open for additional ideas.
Today I really blew it. Here I am, totally immersed in trying to save money anyway I can and I missed out on saving $5.00 on a purchase. It was totally my fault and I just wasn't thinking. It made me SO mad! I'm still miffed by it. It's too late to change things. My husband tried to console me,"It's just $5." But to me, it's more than that. I wasted that money - it could have been used for something else. I finally had to pray and ask God to help me let it go.
And then, later today ...
I got a card in the mail from my Mom, thanking me for sending her a package. It was just a little something I knew she needed and we had talked about it before I sent it. She had said she wanted to reimburse me and, of course, I said not to worry. That stinker! In her card was not one $20 bill but five! I stood there and cried. The first thing I heard in my head was God saying, "You see, you don't need to worry about that $5 - I will provide." Isn't that amazing? I still feel like crying.
I worry so much about the mundane, the little things. Why can't I just let things go and trust God? Oh, the lessons we must learn! |
