El Cajero de la Felicidad

I ran across this great video yesterday about an ATM machine that give our free money.  That’s right, free! There is no need to put in your card, no need for a bank account, and  no strings attached. Well, just one string – you have to promise to share the money with others.  Awesome right!

Check it out here.  Just one thing, it is from Spain, so it’s in Spanish.  The screen essentially say – ‘Get $100 Euros without a card’. When you select Yes, it says “only if you agree to share”  and then if you hit yes again, it provides some ideas of how to do it.

Watch and stick with it to the end to see how this plays out!

Be the cashier of happiness today – give good!

Because its Christmas

Last night Amy came home from shopping and with a box of Coke cans.  On the box there was a picture of Santa!  Later in the evening she was skimming the online guide for something to watch on the television and while going through the music channels noticed that all 50 ( that may not be far fetched) of the Christmas music channels are now available – Hip hop Christmas, coffee house Christmas, classic Christmas, 50’s Christmas, Christmas Message – you name it.

It happens every year. And as much as I love Christmas, I still can believe that the Christmas season starts the day after Halloween. It seems so rushed, it seems so typical of our fast paced society.  Now, I am all for real time information, fast internet connections, doing more in less time etc, but the rushing and pushing of time seems to be just too much.  John Ortberg wrote one of my favorite quotes in his book “The Life You’ve Always Wanted:

We must ruthlessly eliminate hurry from our lives.

(Boy I wish I could write that I have attained that!)

Don’t you wish the saying “As slow as Christmas” still had some real meaning! Today, I give you a reminder to not blast through the next 50 days and rush headlong into Christmas.  Enjoy November.  Enjoy November 4th.  Look and see what blessings are waiting right here for you.

33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Matthew 6:33-34 (New International Version)
