We opened Stella's first savings account yesterday. Thanks to our hometown bank Stella now has a passbook and an account full of her past holiday, dedication, and birthday money. We saved every penny of it because we wanted her to know what it is to honor God with her money - age-appropriate lessons to follow on: tithing, giving, saving and spending and investing. Tim and I are enjoying the book we are reading, Your Money Counts by Howard Dayton, and even though we don't agree with every principle it's refreshing to read a book on finances that has a basic biblical foundation. I'm excited to teach Stella financial stewardship as our view of this topic continues to be shaped by God.
