The Father has been so good to me, I am so blessed. Over the past few months I have been enriched spiritually and physically. There is a strong groaning in my spirit for revival, the whole earth is crying out for Jesus' return. The blessing all stems from our salvation from sin, which required his holy blood sacrifice and erases sin.
My wife and I recently celebrated our 10th anniversary, it's been wonderful all things considered, she has exceeded my earthly expectations of a wife.
I enjoy a week away from home in paradise as much as the next guy however the stench of overt materialism continues to alert my spiritual senses. As easy as it is to dismiss it as something women do naturally, I am forced to deal with the fact it is not an activity exactly championed by Christ in the gospel, in fact it's quite opposite. In absolute honesty I enjoy finding a good deal too, just don't think "good" deals come along every day.
Rather than spending money on personal fashion and vain pursuits, my spirit much prefers to bless others with finances. I fulfill my Christian walk by giving joyfully to almost every person I come into contact with, especially if they are explicitly begging or asking for money. I pay no mind to the possibility the person may be misrepresenting thier poverty, rather I consider the possibility anyone of them could be Jesus or one of his angels.
