Finances Shaking

I’m Miriam Neff, and I’m Valerie Neff Hogan, with Wise Women Managing Money.

M When financial markets are quaking and inflation is growing, how do we remain calm?  It’s normal to look at shrinking portfolios and be concerned.  Remember it’s just ‘stuff.’  Our security is in trusting God to take us through.

V We recommend not making hasty decisions.  Panic is toxic.  Does it seem hard to shrink our grocery budget buying fewer items and less variety.  Take this challenge.  What is healthy and less expensive?  Carrots? Oatmeal?  We can learn to like them. The Israelites complained they wanted meat.  And God was supplying every nutritional need in manna.  Wants are different from needs.

M Granted no food item today is manna, all we need in one item.  But contentment is available in great quantities to all.
