I have mentioned before that ALL YOU Magazine is the only magazine I am willing to pay for, since the coupons inside each month more than cover the cost. My latest subscription just expired, and I am happily renewing thanks to a special deal through Willow House.

Willow House, formerly Southern Living at Home, offers a wide variety of delightful products for the home. From table settings, to decorations, to furniture, and yes, even magazine subscriptions! I own a few SLAH products myself, and the quality just can’t be beat.

My dear friend Julie, a fellow work-at-home mom, is a new Willow House consultant, and she set up a “catalog party” for Keeping the Kingdom First readers. {passes cookies and lemonade all around} She is graciously offering a 10% discount on ALL YOU subscriptions, making them as low as $1.00 per issue!

Since they are sold at Walmart for $2.24 each, this is a great deal. This offer is available for just one week, and ends Sunday, September 12th.

To order ALL YOU, please use the link below:

• Order 18 issues of ALL YOU for only $18.00, or 8 issues for $9.00 via PayPal

PayPal is trustworthy and secure, plus you can pay via debit card or a checking account- no credit card required!

*********************************

If you are interested in purchasing any other items (aside from the All You subscription), Julie is also running a BOGO special where anyone who spends $39.96 or more can pick any item $40 or under for half price. Early Christmas shopping, anyone?

To browse the catalog or order other items, please visit her Willow House consultant site directly, and click on “order”. Then select “find host” and type in my name, “Alyssa”.

Click through to view the collections, including several other great values on magazines. Julie will contact you to obtain payment info. Please note there is a 15% charge for shipping on items other than magazines.

If you have any questions about the ALL YOU subscription deal or Willow House, please email Julie directly at djnj01 @ 1scom.net

Ahh, Labor Day. The unofficial end of summer. Let’s celebrate with a quick giveaway, shall we?

Nothing says summer like backyard grilling, and as the season winds to a close, more families are heading outside to fire up the grill. Umm, except mine. {gasp} We don’t own one! I’m pretty sure this is grounds for getting me kicked out of Texas, so don’t tell anyone, m’kay?

Thankfully, a grill is not required to enjoy Lawry’s newest marinades. I received the Lawry’s “Get Grilling Kit” above, and put my trusty crockpot to work!

The exotic flavors of the Tuscan Sun-Dried Tomato Marinade and Szechuan Sweet & Sour BBQ Marinade are delicious paired with chicken breast, but could also work well with pork, beef, or even tofu. Add a side of rice and some steamed veggies for a perfect summer meal! Even my picky husband kids enjoyed it.

Thanks to My Blog Spark and Lawry’s I have a “Get Grilling Kit” to giveaway to one KingdomFirstMom.com reader. It includes both of the new Lawry´s marinades – Tuscan Sun-Dried Tomato and Szechuan Sweet & Sour BBQ – a set of metal skewers and a nice big Pyrex marinating dish.

Enter to win:

Prize- (1) Get Grilling Kit, pictured above

1. Leave a comment below: What is your favorite food to cook on the grill?

If you are reading via email or in a reader, please click through to the post to enter.

For a Bonus Entry:

2. Subscribe via RSS or email, and/or become a “fan” of KingdomFirstMom on Facebook. You must confirm your email subscription for it to be a valid entry! Leave a separate comment letting me know you have done so. If you’re already a subscriber (thank you!), simply leave a comment.

This giveaway will end on Monday 9/6, at 11:00pm CST. Winner will be chosen via Comment Contest, and notified via email. Winner will have 24 hours from then to respond with the required information before another winner will be chosen.

Lawry´s products, information and additional prize pack to give away were all given to KingdomFirstMom.com from Lawry´s through MyBlogSpark.

A quick search on BibleGateway.com for the word “debt” reveals over twenty verses containing it. The word “loan”, another six, many in the old testament.

The concept of loaning and repaying money is nothing new. Credit Card companies simply took this ancient concept and made it all too convenient to borrow large sums of money for instant gratification. But in the Old Testament, debts among the Israelites were forgiven every seven years. (See Deuteronomy 15)

God did not want His people to live in the bondage of debt on a long term basis. Today, one can declare bankruptcy as a last resort to escape massive debt, but the consequences of this decision have a lasting effect on the debtor. And the years leading up to such an escape are likely filled with stress, endless bills, and phone calls from creditors. This is not what God desires for His children.

Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for he who loves his fellowman has fulfilled the law. Romans 13:7-9

So how do we keep this command?

Perhaps if I had learned sooner what the Bible teaches believers about finances, including debt, I would have avoided the credit card trap. But it was actually over three years after becoming a Christian until I investigated this important topic with my husband.

Don’t wait. The Bible is filled with detailed instructions for handling our money. Join me as we further explore this topic here on the Faith & Finance series.
