"Getting more costs more...."

sermonsnacks.jpgHebrews 13:5-6 (The Message)

 5-6 Don't be obsessed with getting more material things. Be relaxed with what you have. Since God assured us, "I'll never let you down, never walk off and leave you," we can boldly quote,

   God is there, ready to help;
   I'm fearless no matter what.
   Who or what can get to me?
The sooner we can begin to teach our children (no matter how old they are) that material things will not make us happy, the better off they will be.  How much do we want our children and ourselves to "have to" work to be able to have the "things" we want?  Be honest with your children about money matters and what it can do both good and bad for them in their lives.  Teach them saving their money for the things they want make them more special to them.  Tell and show your children by example that God really does care and provide for you and them.  Tell your children about mistakes you have made with money and material things and what it taught you.  Share every blessing God has done for you and them.
