Money problems, who doesn't have them?

Man has became dependant on money, I would say more so than God. It's the capitalist mantra, money makes everything better. I hope I don't sound like a socialist because I love making and spending money.  This time of year things become extra crazy, on top of the bills we have to pay just to live we also feel obligated to buy people things they probably don't even need. Life has became about feeling good right now, instead of about the future and the wonderful place our Lord has prepared for us. I've been living pretty close to the poverty line for the last couple of years, it isn't fun but the Lord always provides for me. Four days ago I was wondering about how I was going to pay my bills, let alone buy Christmas presents. I want to say I didn't worry, but I did, and then I would say a prayer and would feel better. Today I have money in the bank, bills are paid and I have enough left over for the two presents I want to buy. All I can say is God is great and he loves us and always takes care of us like the children that we are.
