So yesterday we FINALLY made it back to church after missing most all of December. In the budget we plan for our giving at church and have it done automatically most of the time, but at the end of the year we are able to give to the building fund. Since we never made it in to Church the month of December, I wrote the check during services yesterday. Chris reminded me of how much it was and that we could now give it.
That is the 1st part of my story. The second part is that I have been bugging Chris about getting a new TV. You know a nice new HDTV, smaller, flatter, WAY better picture. It isn't looking good for this year's budget, but a girl can dream, right?!?!
Then last night Chris and I had this conversation
Chris "Babe I'm really proud of you today."
Me, "Proud? why?"
Chris, "You gave God your HDTV."
Me, "What?! I gave my HDTV to God? What do you mean?"
Chris, 'Well, the money we gave today could have gone to the HDTV you have been wanting."
Me LOL (really I did)
It was funny, because I truly never gave it a second thought about holding the money back to get a TV...really ! Funny, I think the budget has be trained....well maybe in this case it is GOD that has me trained and I think I like that.
