Financial Limit’s And Giving

I’m Miriam Neff with WWMM and I’m Valerie Neff Hogan.

M We were contacted through our website, wisewomenmanagingmoney.com by a woman who has financial limit’s. Her words, ‘I really don’t know what to say when asked to participate in an event or activity that is beyond my means. I’m embarrassed that I have to decline.’

V She’s acknowledging God yet is sad to decline.   Gifts, even events are costly.  We want to rise to others’ expectations.   We suggest these responses: ‘Thank you, I really appreciate that you thought of me, but I can’t participate this year.’

‘Thank you for inviting me.  It will be a great evening.  I have to take a pass, Enjoy.’ 

M Don’t let your emotions rule.  They will take away your joy, unnecessarily.  You are being a faithful steward.
