Don’t say, “I will get even for this wrong.”Wait for the LORD to handle the matter.Proverbs 20:22 Almost every time, my boss points out ways I could have done it better.

Give freely and become more wealthy; be stingy and lose everything. The generous will prosper; those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed.
Proverbs 11:24-25 This is a promise. If we give freely to others we will benefit, if we don’t we will suffer. I think this goes back to serving God with what he has given us to manage. I think being frugal is the right approach but when we have the means and an opportunity arises…
