Week 4

Thanks for visiting with me again. This week let's evaluate our attitudes about money and eating fresh foods:

Your Finances - I've read Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki. I'm reading Rich Woman by Kim Kiyosaki. I've read Matthew 25:27 'So you ought to have deposited my money with the bankers, and at my coming I would have received back my own with interest. One thing that's happening in my life as a result of these readings is that I'm adopting a new attitude about money. As a good steward over what God has entrusted to me, I must use the money that I have to make more money. The Rich Dad author teaches that we must move from the practice of 'working for money' to having money 'work for us.' That concurs with what Jesus is teaching in the parable of the talents when He says the man returning from the far country expected that the talents (money) would have multiplied by, at the least, earning interest in the bank. I'm looking for ways to make my money generate more money by becoming financially literate.

Your Body - There's much value to the statement that 'we are what we eat.' It's a great challenge today to find nourishing foods (even in the grocery store) but we can make some choices that are better than others. Don't be directed exclusively by your taste buds when deciding what to eat. It's good to decide to eat for health as well as for pleasure. Choose foods that are baked rather than fried; high in fiber; low in sugar; fresh rather than processed; low in fat and salt. Try to make these choices at least half of the time and it will make a positive difference in your physical health. Also, choose fresh fruits and veggies every day. Read food labels.
