The picture above is actually gold-wrapped chocolate coins, and reminded me of a great church story. It happened one year just a few minutes before the start of our Christmas musical drama. Some of our kids had found the stash of gold chocolate coins, which was to be the first of the Three King’s gifts to Jesus.
Well, the kids had gleefully eaten all the chocolate gold coins, so we had no gold treasure. A bunch of people flew around the church looking for anything gold, as we had no time to purchase more chocolate coins. Someone came up with a gold drapery cord (I didn’t even ask what they ripped it off of, just stuck it in the treasure chest! ).
Of course it was hugely funny in retrospect, and the moral of this story is: Take good care of your money, or you may lose it! (And yes, someday I will write a book about all the comedy I have experienced as a church organist/choir director!)
So how do you manage your money the biblical way? Keep reading to find out – these principles are from the book Faith-Based Family Finances, by Ron Blue and Jeremy White (Ron is the President of Kingdom Advisors, of which I am a qualified member - you can look me up at www.kingdomadvisors.org).
