Noah, Noble and I were at the store and we told a lady about using the coupon machine at the front of the store to get a $1 coupon for anything in the store. I offered for Noah to get the coupon for her and she was happy with that. She talked to him a bit and complemented him by telling him that he was cute. Noah didn't skip a beat and answered, My brother's cuter. :)
If only that kind of humility stays with a child.
Coming back to the coupon...
We were very happy to get the $1 coupon and told everyone around us. We were quite surprised that the general response was a lack of interest. I think the US is really not that bad off economically after all. I guess if the government can print up as much money as it likes, what's a dollar?

We certainly have become unwise about money in this country and the government is a poor example in their leading. Too bad that in today's world people don't see the wisdom of "A penny saved, a penny earned," or "What your dimes and your dollars will watch themselves."
Living in Illinois, we are beginning to have our money STOLEN from us in small and big ways as they now have to pay for government excesses and stupidity. They approved a budget that isn't balanced and will have to rely on taking out loans to pay for business as usual. I'm not happy about it and feel abused by the state, to be honest.
We are looking around to see if the Lord would have us move, but it is so hard to pick up and go again.
I'd have been glad for the coupon. Add it to the other coupons I use and it probably would have paid for my gas to and from the store!
