A Way To Save Money

Saving money is important, but many people have failed in this area. I’ve failed too. I tried to do some things, but still haven’t seen something change yet. But it’s not impossible to start with a small step, to make a big change in the future.

Then I realized that every day I had to delete lots of emails from retailers and stores discounts here and there. Those emails are things that I do not NEED at all. Those are the “just in case I want it” emails. The more I read it, the more I want it. That is temptation of spending more money on something that we do not plan to. And I have spent too much time readings thise emails and deleted them at the end.

So, here’s what I do to stay away of that temptation: I unsubscribe from all those unnecessary and unimportant emails. And I feel free from temptation of buying things that I do not need.

That’s is just one of the ways of saving money and build up your saving for the future and emergency needs.

So, what would you do? Or what have you done to save money?

A Way Better Gift

World Vision child sponsorship establishes stability for the present and hope for the future, providing benefits not just to a single child, but to an entire family and community.

When children have access to basics like nutritious food, clean water, healthcare, education, safe shelter, and extra support during emergencies, they’re able to grow up to become healthy, productive adults who realize their God-given potential and can become advocates for their communities.

Sponsor a child today and help make this Christmas a memorable one for a boy or girl in need — or, if you’re already a sponsor, consider extending your love and support to another child.

You can also make a one-time gift to our Sponsorship Ministry Fund, which helps meet the needs of children who are still waiting for sponsors and helps World Vision respond to emergencies that occur in sponsorship communities.

World Vision: Unwrap The True Spirit of Christmas

I posted a short story about World Vision and its vision here few months ago. Thinking of giving what to who is really drives me crazy and still cannot figure out who need what. Too many things that we can find at stores, many people have been rushing to the stores to get things that they “think” that their family “might need.”

Yet, many people, especially children, in all over the world are in need of water, food, shelter, blankets, and even more their parents to find something to make money so they can survive. These parents need financial support to start a small business, instead of depending on some other unsure resources, these parents need physical and spiritual supports. But, both parents and children do not know where they can find the help that they need, they do not know where to get whatever they need to survive, and they inly know that they are hopeless, no one care. BUT GOD knows. He cares about these people. He can provide ANYTHING that they need. He is the only one who knows every single thing that we need and provide it for us, also He is the only one who can provide for these people too.

The question is how do they know what God is the provider? how can they hear about this Good News that they have hope in Christ? where they can find help? what is our part in this?

The answer is you can only find in the Bible, the true Word of God:

“Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me, but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin,tit would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea.” (Matt 18:5-6)

These verses said by Jesus himself. Children are important and precious before God (also see in Mark 10:14-16).
