Well, Frugal Friends, I have been blogging since mid-March and loving every minute. It’s my turn to give something back to my faithful readers!
I am approaching 100 subscribers to my feed, so what better way to celebrate than a Bloggy Giveaway!
Here’s the scoop:
Leave a comment below. Not just any comment, I want something worth reading. In “keeping” with the mission of my blog, I would love to hear your favorite Bible verse! Not a Bible reader? That’s ok, I wasn’t either for 24 years. Leave your favorite quote.
The contest will be open for one week, so you have until Saturday, June 7th to leave a comment. Anyone is welcome to comment! Make sure to include some way to contact you if you do not have a blog.
Oh yes, the PRIZE. Remember the $10 Target Gift Card I received from Ebates? Well, since my readers really earned it, I want a reader to have it. I will use Random Number Generator to select the winner!
Here is MY favorite verse:
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, [she] is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!” 2 Corinthians 5:17
Let’s hear yours!
“This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.” Psalm 118:24
Tracey
Nice idea!
Mine is long, really! The whole of 1 Corinthians 13.
The last line:
“So faith, hope, love remain, these three; but the greatest of these is love.”
God = love. Love = God.
Go show some love today and let God shine through you!
Congrats on your feed!
“Be still, and know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10).
I have to repeatedly remind myself to do this. I like to control everything and this reminds me to listen and not act!
Lay not up for yourselves trasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth currupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Matthew 6:19-21
I always need to remind myself that my focus needs to be on heavenly treasures!
“This I recall to mind, therefore have I hope.
“It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
“They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.”
~ Lamentations 3:21-23
I like this idea. I don’t really have one favorite, but here’s one that I really like:
Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
Romans 5:1
Hebrews 13:6 is my favorite
So we say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?”
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer…present your requests to God. Philippians 4: 6
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer…present your requests to God. Philippians 4: 6

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer…present your requests to God. Philippians 4: 6
Oh, I’ll be coming back to read these! My anthem is Psalm 139:23-24:
“23 Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. 24 See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.”
I repeat this over and over in my mind throughout the day.. as a wife, who misses her husband (Marine– I’m mommy and daddy right now), when money is tight, and when I just feel overloaded, I remember:
Psalm 121:1-2
“I lift up my eyes to the hills.
Where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth.

I am new to the blogging world, my husband does Bjj and recently came across your husbands blog which by Gods great devine brought me to you. I had never before been a frugal person, never cliped coupons, never checked the sale adds, and had never step foot in a CVS. Now since I have started reading your blog I have subcribed to the newspaper, started clipping coupons, joined The Grocery Game and I am addicted to shopping at CVS!
I find myself checking your blogg several times a day, I love to read all your witty bloggs and see what great new deals you have posted. Thank you so much for just being you and sharing all your wonderful information! You have changed my life for the better!!!
Jesus said to them, “With people this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
Matthew 19:26
Romans 10:9-10
9That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
We are all sinners, but we can all be saved! Thanks Alyssa!
“As for me and my house, we shall serve the Lord” – Joshua 24:15 …
There’s so many, but one in particular that I like is:
2 Samuel 22:2
And he said, The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer
“For in Him we live and move and have our being.” Acts 17:28
Great idea! I enjoyed hearing others’ favorite verses.
I was just showing my husband how you walked out of CVS with all that stuff for less than 2 bucks and we are both blown away! I need to go shopping with you sometime to see how you do it:)
Romans 8:38-39 “For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Jaci
My favorite quote is “This too shall pass”
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
from Psalm 23 & 24
PS: Potty training starts for us tomorrow. AHHH!
Romans 12:2
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is – his good, pleasing and perfect will.
Galatians 2:4 But because if His great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions- it is by grace you have been saved!” Love the blog!

Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.”
Psalm 139:9-10
Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord. Colossians 3:20

18May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
19And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

Thanks for entering me in your giveaway! There are so many wonderful verses it is hard to chose one 🙂
Psalm 119:88 “Revive me according to Your lovingkindness, So that I may keep the testimony of Your mouth”
He literally revives me with His lovingkindness each day 🙂

‘Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.” Matthew 6:33

This has been my favorite for years.
Jeremiah 29:11
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
1 Peter 3:15
But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have.
Matthew 6:33
“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness;
and all these things shall be added unto you.”
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God.
Matthew 5:9

My favourite since I was in high school:
Jeremiah 29:11
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
Yeah! Happy 3rd month Anniversary!!
I see so many of my favorite already listed. I will add some of my other favorites.
“Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.” James 1:2-5
I love this verse. I have seen how God has allowed trials in my life to transform me.
Another Favorite:
“Look at the nations and watch— and be utterly amazed. For I am going to do something in your days that you would not believe, even if you were told.” Habakkuk 1:5
This is a verse that God gave me during our infertility struggles, about 3-4 years before I got pregnant. Long story short, when the doctor told me I was pregnant, I didn’t believe him. God is true to his word.
I just now found your blog 🙂 A fellow Texas and Christian. My favorite verse changes…but I am now meditating on Psalm 77:13-15: “O God, your ways are holy. Is gthere any god as mighty as you? You are the God of miracles and wonders! You demonstrate your awesome power among the nations. You have redeemed your people by your strength, the descendants of Jacob and Joseph by your might.” I need to knwo that God is the God of miracles and wonders! Blessings to you!
Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men. Colossians 3:23
-Shawna
I’ve enjoyed reading all of the other favorite verses! One of mine is:
Hebrews 12:1
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.
I love the Mark Schultz song “Cloud of Witnesses” based on this verse.

Hi! Fairly new to your blog, but I enjoy it! I have lots of favorite Bible verses. but the theme one this year at my son’s school really means a lot to our family this year because of so many changes with the economy, finances, personal issues, etc. I think it is a great one to remember on a daily basis!
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jer 29:11
Blessings,

That’s awesome that you are already up to 100+ subscribers! Congrats!
I am in love with your blog. I found it a couple of weeks ago and I am here reading at least 3 times a week now. It is so hard to choose just one verse to say is my favorite. There are so many that speak to me depending on the day. Today I would say Isaiah 43. I’m not going to write it down because it is way to long. But thank you. It has been so much fun reading everyones favorites.
Jesus heals, and faith in Jesus brings peace to soul. Enjoy the Lord is my shepherd, a Psalm 23 faith in the Lord song. God bless you.
