BRENDA'S GUIDE ON HOW TO GET BY IN THIS RECESSION.

Fam,This is my guide on getting by in the recession:*I have combined true facts with Entertainment, that is my Economy Recipe. I hope this helps somebody.*Being broke to some of us has been a lifelong struggle. This economy has gotten those who already know sidetracked. Why? Cause' Big Mama has always laid it down. But, for the newly broke, and not tryin' to be broken...let me school you.The main ingredients you need for this recipe are all organic...PRAYER, coupons, clearance, creativity, value, sale, free, necessity and NO.Food: Try food pantries and churches. Most of them are dry too, so let's kick your creativity in action. Your family is depending on you. So, let's make it happen. "Real Talk" Move your pride to the side by thinking of your kid's growling stomach.Stock up on filling foods such as beans, potatoes, rice and chicken. Catch the meat sells, so you can bake, boil, broil, barbecue, chicken salad, chicken helper, fry, smack it up, flip it up and rub down that bird.Clothes - Goodwill, The Salvation Army, Yard Sales, trade clothes with friends.Transportation- bus, car pool, or walkPhone - cut back to basic service, use neighbor's, use pay phones, get calling cardsUtilities- There are some organizations that will help with cut off. Electric- Make arrangements with the utility company to pay it. If you get cut off because you could not raise the funds... use the sun for light during the day. Don't laugh, open those curtains up. Night time use the stars and moon for light. Use what God provides and give Him the glory. Make it adventurous for the kids, so it won't effect them too much. (I have done this, I know about what I speak.) If you get tired of eating can foods, bring that grill out. Don't speak negativity- only light. Let nothing stop you, but God. When I say fight, I mean fight for your life.If there is something I left out, and you need an idea on how to cope let me know.

Titus 3:1-7
The Right Way to Live
1 Remind the believers to yield to the authority of rulers and government leaders, to obey them, to be ready to do good,2 to speak no evil about anyone, to live in peace, and to be gentle and polite to all people. 3 In the past we also were foolish. We did not obey, we were wrong, and we were slaves to many things our bodies wanted and enjoyed. We spent our lives doing evil and being jealous. People hated us, and we hated each other.4 But when the kindness and love of God our Savior was shown,5 he saved us because of his mercy. It was not because of good deeds we did to be right with him. He saved us through the washing that made us new people through the Holy Spirit.6 God poured out richly upon us that Holy Spirit through Jesus Christ our Savior.7 Being made right with God by his grace, we could have the hope of receiving the life that never ends.
