Saving

There are two things today that have been heavy on my mind and both of them have to do with saving, but two very different forms. I have just started to really get into couponing, to make my small grocery budget stretch even further.  Yes I was prompted by the new show on TLC "Extreme Couponing."  I don't ever know that I will ever get that extreme, but saving as much as I can would be so wonderful.  So I embark, and will be starting on the first of May to save as much as I can by comparing 5 different stores with their sales and matching up the coupons.  Yup it is very time consuming, but I am going for the challenge!  So if any of you (i know you are very few) know of anyone who doesn't use their coupons I would love to take them, and then I can get the most savings!  So that is the first thing and then today there was a lot of things that happened to make me think of a differnt kids of saving.  The saving of my Lord and savior.  There were a record number of tornadoes last night and many people lost their home and even their lives.  And the world lost a great preacher today who went home to be with the Lord.  David Wilkerson, was such an amazing man of God, and even though he will be missed, his legacy will live on!  But without the saving of Jesus where would he be, still lost as would the hundreds of thousands that have been touched through his ministry.  I am so glad and thankful for the Lord and his saving!  So as I end this day, I know that there is much to be thankful for in this life and that I can pursue my own savings, but ultimately the only saving that is truly worth it is HIS!!
