Money can be a challenging force to reckon with. Money can destroy lives, yet at the same time, money can be used for peace.

I currently have a wish list of things to purchase: a DSLR Camera (Sony Nex5 to be exact), a road bike, and somewhere down the road, a car. These are not bad goals. Money is not bad, but our attitude and uses can bring peace or division.

With this in mind, I will wait longer to make my purchases, choosing to pay with cash. I will wait longer to make my purchases, choosing to bless others. The saying goes, "It is better to give than to receive." Do you believe this?

Personal Challenge: Find a way to give of your money that will bring peace to someone else. Be Intentional!
