When I thought of the phrase "make it count," I began to question, do I make every day, every action, every word, every dollar earned, every bite taken, and every moment with my family count?? I was honest with myself and decided I can do better. So here I go!
Today was an intersting start. I decided that in order to make every dollar count, I would get back to couponing like I did years ago when I stayed home and worked part-time. I spent two hours planning, printing, and clipping coupons. The "plan" was to go to one store just to get 2 items and then on to another store for the mega savings and to collect the rest of my list. Well, I ended up doing all my shopping at the first store and only used two coupons out of all the coupons I clipped. I came out of the store frustrated and just headed home. Yep, it might just be more of a challenge than I thought to make every dollar count.
When it comes to eating, I want to make the food I eat count towards nourishing my body and making my body healthy. Making what I eat count should have the reward of losing weight. Oh, how this will be a challenge! However, my body is a temple and I will MAKE IT COUNT!
While the saying may seem simple, "Make It Count," but it is sure to be a challenge. Next December I hope to be able to say that I have made this year count like never before and I am excited to see what happens when I focus on making it count.
James 1: 2-4
2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. 4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
