Eagles have remarkable eyesight. They are capable of seeing four to seven times better than humans, with an ability to spot a small animal from over a mile away! This enables them to search for food as they soar high in the sky or perch at the top of a tall tree. When they attack, they dive at speeds up to 100 miles an hour! Eagles are at the top of the airborne predators. Their ability to see clearly at great distances, to adjust their flight path at high speeds, and their great power is a reflection of God’s great design.
As we continue to strive to soar like eagles in our financial life, we should also check our financial vision. Have you become so blinded by the day to day grind of paying bills, struggling to stay ahead of debt, and covering unexpected expenses, that it is difficult to see beyond your current situation?
As we begin to follow God’s design for our financial life, our perspective broadens and we can see further down the road, a little farther each day. We can see distant situations more clearly and make adjustments to meet the challenge. Let’s all improve our eyesight so we can soar higher as we look to Christ for his leadership in our financial decisions!
As you do your Spring cleaning, consider making some extra cash by selling items on Craig’s list or by having a garage sale. Don’t have enough to do a garage sale on your own? Make it a group effort and combine with friends, family, or coworkers. You could also take certain items to a consignment or resale store.
One excellent way to save on kids’ clothes is to shop at consignment stores such as Kid to Kid.
You can find name brand items such as Nike, Adidas, Gap, and Aeropostle for a fraction of the original cost. Most kids outgrow clothes long before they wear them out, so you are able to find items in excellent condition, and sometimes still with the original tags!
