Spend Less
19 “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.22 “The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy,[a] your whole body will be full of light. 23 But if your eyes are unhealthy,[b] your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!24 “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.
Matthew 6:19-24
REFLECTION:
Slow down. Before you start buying and ordering gifts online, think about each person on your Christmas list. Think about your relationship and what significance it brings to your life. Are you thoughtfully spending or are you mindlessly rushing through the process?
“Spending less does not mean spending nothing. Rather, we strive to thoughtfully evaluate what we support with our spending, and allow our spending to support products, people, and causes that are worthy of being supported.”
ADVENT CONSPIRACY, chapter 4
