You know and I know that taxes are way too high; and, so is the national debt. I don't debate that. I do not, however, get angry or upset about paying our taxes. Why?
- I see paying our taxes a little differently.
- I see paying our federal taxes as paying rent to live in the most wonderful country in the world.
- Rent to have freedom like nowhere else.
- Freedom to make choices that contradict popular opinion.
- Freedom to worship my God and my Lord Jesus Christ in the way I choose.
- Sold out to Jesus and not hiding it...that's worth the price in itself.

Very good thing to remember. I’ve always been patriotic but have been feeling very unhappy with current political things happening.
ReplyDeleteBut even with it’s flaws, the USA is still the best country ever and I’ll be praying it stays that way.
Thank you Laura ❤️
Dear Rhonda, I do know what you mean about how things are going right now. But God! I believe things will turn around. It's going to take all Jesus believers praying and voting. God bless you dearie! Laura
DeleteI kind of see it the same way. Now if the govt. would quit abusing our tax dollars and spend them on OUR country I would feel better!!
ReplyDeleteMe too, Cheryl. We definitely need more patriots and statesmen and pro-America people in office.
DeleteIf the government would only do their part to be good stewards, which they are not!
ReplyDeleteYes, Penny. I must agree. Things are off track there, but I can only control so many things. ~smile~
DeletePatriotic American, too!
ReplyDeleteYes ma'am!

You are doing as Christ wants us all to do. It is our duty to pay our way as it were.
ReplyDeleteYes ma'am. And we're paying more than last year thanks to my job! I'm thankful to live here though. ~smile~ God is good and faithful.
DeleteGreat perspective. I always remind myself that we would not be paying taxes if we had not made money - that makes it easier.
ReplyDeleteThis is true! I'll be over for a blog visit in just a bit.
