I’ve filed my taxes electronically the last few years – so April 15th has kinda lost it’s pressure point for me. But it’s still a good occasion for a blog about “paying up.”
Note to the reader: This is not about money.
I am reminded, often & especially every 15th of April, what a blessing it is to live in America. This nation, founded upon Christian principles, is the greatest place to live on planet earth.
Think of our standard of living (materially speaking): we are very well off; we have good water, sanitation, schools, fine roads, many of us live in houses (probably “mansions” compared to half the world’s population). I could go on & on.
We are blessed! Therefore, I’m fine with paying taxes.
Are you grumbling today? Here’s a word for you “pay up.”
I mean, pay your compliments & praise UP to God. Pay “upwards” the respect that is due our Creator for the many blessings we take for granted daily.
Upset about the number of dollars you’re owing in taxes? What about this modest proposal: pay God one prayer of praise for every dollar you owe the government!

We do live comfortable lives here in America and we should always give God the glory!
