When God made time, He made enough of it.

A month ago, I wrote about 10 ways to save $100 this year. My mom says I need to go back and make a disclaimer about that post. I am absolutely certain that I could save $100 (or more) this year if I followed those 10 things, but I would have to give up long drives to nowhere and thrift store treasure hunting.
Long drives to no where are almost as good as marriage counseling and thrift store treasure hunting is cheaper than retail therapy at the mall.
By the way, today I bought 2 pairs of funky embroidered Coldwater Creek jeans, a glass pitcher with etched flowers, a jar lifter and bubble remover thingy, and an ironing board.
The only thing that wasn’t on my list was the ironing board. But it was such a great heavy duty ironing board that I just couldn’t pass it up. They don’t make ironing boards like that anymore.
Not that I actually iron…
…but it will come in handy when I start quilting.
Last week Family Life Today (a radio program) was having a marriage and money theme week. They were talking with author Scott Stanley who co-authored You Paid How Much For That?: How to Win at Money Without Losing at Love
He said, “Men will pay $2 for any $1 item that they really want. Women will pay $1 for any $2 item whether they want it or not.”
And now I own a full sized, antique, super heavy duty ironing board. Do you know how much that type of ironing board would cost new?

Growing up, my parents had an Ecuadorian poncho that my Dad had picked up when he served for a summer as a Wycliff missionary in Quito, Ecuador. The poncho was about the size of a twin bed blanket. It was green, yellow and blue striped with the colors you can only find in South America. At the bottom, it had fringe to my young-girl-heart’s delight.
Whenever I heard the story of Joseph and his coat of many colors, I always imagined him wearing that poncho.
The story of Joseph is basically how God took human failings and turned it into good. Joseph’s brother sold him into slavery and many years later, Joseph was 2nd only to Pharoah in Egypt. Joseph persevered through the dark times, he continued to work with diligence and excellence, honoring God in all that he did.
Whatever you are going through right now, know that God sees you in these dark days. Persevere. He means it all for good in His ultimate plan.
