The Money
December 12, 2016
You cannot serve both God and money.
Matthew 6:24
Early in my career while doing work that I saw as more of a mission than a job, another company offered me a position that would give a significant increase in pay. Our family could surely have benefited financially from such a move. There was one problem. I hadnt been looking for another job because I loved my current role, which was growing into a calling.
But the money . . .
I called my father, then in his seventies, and explained the situation. Though his once-sharp mind had been slowed by strokes and the strain of years, his answer was crisp and clear: Dont even think about the money. What would you do?
In an instant, my mind was made up. The money would have been my only reason for leaving the job I loved! Thanks, Dad.
Jesus devoted a substantial section of His Sermon on the Mount to money and our fondness for it. He taught us to pray not for an accumulation of riches but for our daily bread (Matt. 6:11). He warned against storing up treasures on earth and pointed to the birds and flowers as evidence that God cares deeply about His creation (vv. 1931). Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, Jesus said, and all these things will be given to you as well (v. 33).
Money matters. But money shouldnt rule our decision-making process. Tough times and big decisions are opportunities to grow our faith in new ways. Our heavenly Father cares for us.
Never confuse temptation with opportunity.
One of the most remarkable aspects of todays reading is the harmony our Lord maintains between a heavenly perspective and the practical issues of daily life. He uses examples in nature to show how our heavenly Father tenderly cares for animal and plant life. Since we are of far more value than they are, Christ counsels us to trust Him to care for us one day at a time (v. 34).

Stay warm when you two go walking. It’s 3 degrees here, up from 0 at noon.

OK...I have had a rollicking weird weekend.
Yesterday, of course, we had the FR breakdown.
Then, near my little village, a car crashed into a utility pole and plunged us into darkness.
Leaving that behind us, my sisters and B-I-L all piled into a car to see my two nephews perform in a Rock Club in Somerville MA, a place where, even with GPS, it is a hallowed tradition that you will get LOST. This dates back to Colonial Times, and is considered de rigeur as part of the Somerville “Experience”. If you are from the South Shore, have had a beer or too, and running out of gas, it is considered “expected.”
The band was awesome and I was glad to have gone, but it was bitter cold and exacerbated my cold (KerCHOO!)
On my arrival home, the electricity was back on and so was FR! Huzzah! I posted and went to bed.
The next day I could NOT get my computer to turn on. I tried everything. Finally, I went to the Apple Store and was told that my MAC was now considered “Vintage”, and i would have to go home and wait for a phone call. OR pay over $1000 for a new desktop.
So I went home, unplugged everything, said a prayer, and plugged everything back in. And it works fine.
When Apple called I told them about this, and i think the Gal sounded a little disappointed that she was not going to be setting me up for a new FINANCED product.
So now, I have FR, my Mac, a big proud smile for my nephews, and a miserable cold.
Here’s my nephew’s video:

We got a two day break in the cold snap, and about half the snow has melted. But the Alberta Express is scheduled to come in tonight, and we're back to the deep freeze for another week at least.
