27 Quotes/Phrases/Thoughts/Lyrics to live by: #22

Anyone who knows me will tell you that I'm allergic to numbers. They just swim in my head. I would love to be like  those people whom I consider to be human calculators.. I'm glad that my "Human Calculator" family and friends allow me to borrow them when situations needing numbers are involved :D
.
It's hard for me to appreciate money, when the value often doesn't compute..  in that context I find this quote comforting,
.
 "All we have comes from God and we give it out of His hand." 
- 1 Chronicles 29:14b, Dutch paraphrase
.
Now, when it comes to managing things for other people - I tend to do much better than with my own things. Which is a challenge in and of itself, for me to manage "my" things well. The quote reminds me of the better perspective to have about those things. They are not "mine" in the first place, they have been granted into my care for the time being. But I think it also allows me to be pretty fluid in what I do have. "What's mine is [most often] yours too" There are a few exceptions, but for the most part, I'll share! ;)
.
I still think it would be better to have "number sense" being that today most of our interactions revolve around 
these green papers with numbers on them, but I'll leave you with a comment I posted on my friends facebook wall the other day.
.
(PLEASE tell me someone notices the trend in the comment. I found it quite clever, but I think that just points all the more to my "linguistic/ artistic/ non-numbers brain")
.
Soli Deo Gloria
:D
