Three Cups

Authors Tony Townsley and Mark St. Germain have cleverly put together a short story teaching children the dynamics of finances. This witty book should be on the shelves of every home with small children 5-8 years of age. The book is wonderfully illustrated and teaches the discipline of giving, saving, and spending. The story centers on a young boy who receives three cups for his birthday.  His parents explain that they will begin giving him an allowance and will help him divide the allowance each week into each of the three cups; one for giving, one for saving, and one for spending.  The boy begins to understand the meaning giving and how it feels to help someone out.  Later his mom takes him to the bank to deposit the money he has saved where he learns about interest earned.  His spending money is eventually used to buy the baseball glove and a little something for his sister.

New Year - New Beginning

Tick-toc, tick-toc the clock continues to move life forward. Life is full of bells and whistles, alarms and horns.  We have been programmed to believe what they say!  The alarm on our clock sounds and we rise from our slumber.  The red engine light comes on and we seek a mechanic.  The lunch bell rings and we head to the cafeteria.  A fog horn blasts and the ship turns away from land. This year, let us put aside all of the bells and whistles, horns and alarms and seek out the voice of the Lord himself.  Alarm clocks may malfunction and the batteries may wear out on our horns and whistles, but the Lord in sovereign,  He is always present, waiting for you to listen.  Slow down a little and seek the Lord.  He may not blow a loud horn to get your attention, but listen for the still, small voice.  He will never steer you wrong.

It is 6am.  Autumn has arrived and the early morning is as dark as midnight.  Stepping outside I stopped in awe and gazed up at the beautiful star-lit sky. The atmosphere was clear of clouds and heaven was a glorious abundance of glowing stars.  The Lord spoke to my heart with the analogy that just as the stars are always present, so is He.  Circumstances cause the bright stars to be clouded over; they are forgotten because they are not in sight.  We must not allow life's circumstances to dim or completely cover the light of Jesus in our lives.  He is always there.  Darkness is simply the absence of light, and the darker the night, the brighter the Light!  God Bless.
