A Penny Saved Is A Penny Earned

2/2/2011

Hello,
 
Over 30 years ago, Ron England of Los Angeles, California, bet his brother he could save a million pennies.  Twenty thousand rolls of pennies, 13 boxes, a full garage, and 30 years later, England won that bet.
 
As a result, he now has $10,000 in pennies, and that's good news.  The bad news is that England couldn't find anyone to take his 3.5 tons of accumulated copper without costing him a "pretty penny," so to speak.  Now, Ron is stuck with a million pennies.
 
Saving your money is a good thing, although you might not want to use the approach mentioned above.  The bottom line is that in our country, most people actually spend more each month than they earn.  Some people can operate under these circumstances because of their wealth.  But this is not true for most of us.  
 
Proverbs 21:20 says that a wise man or woman saves, but a fool gets paid and spends everything he or she has.  Or a wise person keeps his or her valuables safe in their home, but a fool puts everything out in the yard to sell.
 
Whether your income is large or small, it's wise to save a portion.  That rainy day will probably come when you need it most for a car repair doctor visit, or something else.  This is especially important because of the present economy we are in.  Be prepared for what may come so that you can have "stores of choice food and oil" in your house when the need arises.
 
Proverbs 21:20   "There is treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of the wise; but a foolish man spendeth it up." 
 
Spend time with Christ today, be blessed, and know that you are loved!!! 

Henry
