As Christians we should have our mind set on pleasing God. The tokens we get at the supermarket for cash back on certain goods, or tokens to save and get some bargain range of kitchen ware, distract us and keep our minds on money. If we belong to God we do not have the time for these distractions. Your father knows what you need and He will provide that for you. Don't be side-tracked into worrying about money, you have important work to do, you are to spread the message of His love, for His chosen ones from all over the world, from every tribe and nation. "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him, should not perish, but have everlasting life."
I have written in previous posts about disasters. In the case of Concorde, decisions by people, plus other factors were directly to blame for the event. In the case of the Penlee disaster it may have been avoided if someone had made a better choice in the time beforehand and as a consequence brave men and the ship's crew and the captain and his family died. 9/11 was certainly the result of wicked men committing a terrorist act, but even in this there was heroism notably by another Cornish man, Rick Rescorla who helped many to safety and left it too late to help himself. In situations like this we see what the human spirit is capable of both good and evil. What of disasters that come on people because of the earth restless movement of tectonic plates. Often people live near volcanoes because the land is rich and fertile and they have the chance of a better life there when the volcano is resting. We cannot blame them for that but sometimes people become complacent...
