It's interesting that after reregistering my life just over a week ago now, I had to do it again at least another 2 times just recently. It's been good to have this blog as a reminder of the wonderful things that happen in every day life because we have a wonderful God who has treated us.
God treats us far more than we could ever treat anyone else.
Last night I had a discussion about the necessity to treat my own children when the time comes. This would be by being generous with all things including money. However, money is not an easy thing for me to part with. When I share moments with my girlfriend - yes I'm able to plunge into my wallet. And when I think like that maybe, the same love for my kids would give me that desire too. But really is that healthy or even the best/right thing to do? Maybe it would be better to humble myself (potentially humbling my kin as well) to say that God can provide so much more for me and my children. I don't need to show my love by treating them myself - but instead my treat should be to introduce them to my Lord and Saviour... and everything I model and share should point to Him.
Call me stingey. Whatever you want to call me.
I've got a long way to go till then, I'd like to hear many arguments and wise advice on this topic before I get there.
For now, I'll keep acknowledging the bliss of God's treats and blessings.
This week, the challenge from my home group leader has been to recognise the things that suit our spirit. Things that God has specifically created us to enjoy and grow from.
Watch this space...
