Luke 10:35
“On the next day, when he departed, he took out two denarii, gave them to the innkeeper, and said to him, ‘Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, when I come again, I will repay you.’”
I am committed to debt-free living. Be that as it may, there have been times in my life when I needed a helping hand. I thought of this a few days ago when I was watching an episode of Texas Country Reporter hosted by Bob Phillips and his wife Kelli.
In this episode they were visiting the General Store in the small town of Burgheim, Texas. It was fascinating to see the wide range of items that seemed to be useful to the customers in this small Texas town.
Then they showed something that struck a nostalgic note in my heart. There was a box with charge books. I recalled the times when Joyce and I were in the Air Force and had no money to buy groceries before payday at the end of the month. A sweet couple who owned a small grocery store placed a charge book in the box of customers who could charge groceries until the end of the month.
God has assured us that He has opened an account with our name on it. We only have to choose the blessings He offers. What a sweet assurance we have in knowing that not only do we have a charge book, but that He has paid our account in full!
Blessings dear hearts. Draw near to God today, trust Him completely and be a blessing!
