One-a-day Gratitude

I balanced the checkbook and paid our monthly bills today.  When I was finished, there was some money left over - more than I expected. 

Today I am grateful for my old car with no monthly payment, my modest house with a low mortgage payment, a job that provides in bounty for our needs, and the scholarships which Matt received eliminating the need to pay tuition.



Now I pray for discipline to not splurge and spend the extra we have.
I will be transferring some money into savings tomorrow.

Isn't that an ugly car?

I'm still thankful for it.

The words 'totally paid for' have a way of making something amazingly attractive!

Bravo on surviving so well in this economy!
