Show #14 ~ Taking Care of God’s Money

By Alyssa Avant on Feb 10, 2008 in Podcast

This week I share about money, and the importance of teaching our daughter’s about taking care of God’s money. This is something we will all have to do in life, whether your daughter chooses to live a life as a single person, get married, or get married and have children. She will have to take care of what God gives her. Money is given to us by God as a part of his provision. We are to take care of what he gives us. Many of us struggle with this, as wives and mothers, to either be content with what we have or to manage what we have, or maybe even to stretch what we have in order to pay for everything we need.

This month as I share on the show I was blessed to be able to hire a Christian financial counselor who shared with me some Biblical principles about money, some of which I’d never thought about before. I share some of these with you on this week’s show as well as another website I have found helpful as I am attempting to live more frugally this year and to get out of debt. This website is maintained by a young Christian mother, Crystal Payne. It is called Money Saving Mom and can be quite a help to you as a mom trying to make ends meet. I encourage you to teach your daughter how to manage money as Crystal’s mom taught her. I listened to Crystal’s appearances on Mom’s Love Shopping and was encouraged by what her mom taught her and she is now sharing with us, via the web.

Crystal has an awesome resource for moms who want to save money on grocery shopping. It is called Supermarket Savings 101 you can check it out just Click Here! I have purchased the course myself and really enjoyed using it.

I hope that you enjoy this week’s show. I realize that the topic of money might seem strange to some for a mom-daughter show, but honestly, every daughter needs the blessing of her mother sharing with her how to handle the money that God blesses she and her family with, because it can be a struggle, especially just starting out.
