God, Money and Love: "The Ability"

God:  I heard something on 89.3 KSBJ the other day on my way to work.  They have started advertising for "Share-a-thon" which is the once a year fund raising event for the radio station to fund their efforts through the year.  They do not advertise or play crappy commercials so they rely upon listeners for funding.  I love this radio station and ever since a friend at work told me about it, I have been listening to it non-stop.  Anyways, the point I wanted to make was that they said that God has given us "the ability" to donate (i.e. by blessing us with our jobs and income) which is 100% true!  If it weren't for God working in my life and Mat's life, we wouldn't have "the ability" to do all of the things that we do on a daily basis.  I am so grateful that God has blessed us with great jobs and steady income.  He gives us "the ability" to donate not only to KSBJ but also to the church....because technically, its God's money and not ours.  It does not belong to us which is why its so important to tithe to the church you are a member of.  Once you start treating His money like its yours and no one else's, good luck trying to manage it and make it multiply!

Money: Since God has graciously blessed us with jobs, we have "the ability" to put extra money towards our debts each month.  Thanks to God, we have paid off a significant amount of our student loans (we paid off all of Mat's) and we only have one loan and the car to pay off next.  Thank you Lord for blessing us so much.

Love:  Over the past few weeks I've been getting this funny feeling in my heart and stomach.  I haven't felt this way in a while but I think that I am falling madly in love with my husband more and more each day.  I love him very much but its like the last few weeks, I've been admiring him and hanging on to each and every second we spend together.  He is my very best friend and I love him so much!  Every week in Sunday school we go over different readings in the bible and we learn how to love each other the way that God intended.  I feel like my love for Mat has grown so much deeper and stronger and each day gets better and better :)  I have an amazing husband who loves me!  How did I get so lucky??!?
