Palms up

Lately, I've been considering money quite a bit.  The future hinges on it.  I've been telling lots of people that "It's all God's money anyway, He just has it deposited in different accounts that He can access easily."

David Gibbs once said, "Never resist a generous impulse." and I have never forgotten that.  I hear him say it in that signature voice, probably on a weekly basis.

I am saving any extra money I get for something very special.  A plane ticket for my next trip to Moldova.  This week, on two different  occasions, I gave money to people who needed it much more than I.  I did so happily, but hesitated for a nano-second.  Some of it was extra money destined for my airplane ticket, and some of it was set aside to pay for my health insurance this month.  The Lord spoke my own words to me..."It's all God's money anyway, He just has it deposited in different accounts that He can access easily."  Do you believe that Anna?  You said it, but do you believe it?  Can I access YOUR account easily?

"Yes Lord, its yours."  This all occurred in a nano-second.  Nothing makes me happier than giving.  Well, today, God gave back to me.  TOTALLY unexpected.  Out of the blue.  The EXACT dollar total that I had given away this week.  Haha.  He is SO GOOD!

I can't stop marvelling.  On my way home tonight I was thinking about it.  Its like Abraham laying Isaac on the altar.  God gave him right back, he just wanted to know if Abraham would give him first. 

Palms up.
