A bank is a place that will lend you money if you can prove you don’t need it—Bob Hope
Psalm 112:5, A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion.
There have been times in everyone’s life when they could use a little help financially. Whether when you first got married, lost a job, or maybe when that first child was born. A few extra funds came in handy and helped get you through the dry spell. I know there have been times in my life when we had to get a loan from the bank or from family. I have even had the privilege to pay it forward to some of my family and friends. I have had to loan a few dollars to help get them to the next pay check. An unexpected doctor’s bill, a birthday party, or a flat tire will sneak up on you every now and then. You may have to have a little help getting over the hump.
There has been one thing I have learned since I was able to loan a few dollars out; Don’t loan anything that you can’t afford to do without. Many times, when you loan it out, it will never come back! You’ll be better off to just give them the money, never seeking repayment, than to lose a friend over a few dollars.
