It’s easy to dream about what we’ll do with our money – how we’ll spend it, how much we’ll enjoy it, etc. But, does that lead to a life we really enjoy and find meaning in? if we’ve chosen to follow Jesus, he’s not only our Savior but also our Lord or Master. As Lord, he’s in charge of everything, including money. But the good news is that his way, including handling money, is best and helps us enjoy life to its fullest!
