I have a friend who is a taxi driver. He worked on Sunday mornings and did not go to church.

 

I have a friend who is a taxi driver. He worked on Sunday mornings and did not go to church. One day I approached him and asked him how much he earned per day, and he told me about 1,700 drachmas. So I suggested that the following Sunday morning, he go to church and then go to work, and whatever he earned less than 1,700 drachmas, I would give him the difference. My friend thought about it and finally accepted my proposal. He went to church on Sunday and then worked as a taxi driver until evening. That evening, he called me and said:

"Dimitrios, something amazing happened! I was so busy I couldn't keep up with all the customers! I made 2,000 drachmas!"

 Since then, my friend has been going to church every morning. People who work on Sundays and don't go to church, the money they make is not blessed and one day they will lose it one way or another. Because whoever collects money away from God, scatters it. That is why we see many families who work from morning till night but are unable to put any money aside. Sunday money is fire, said Saint Kosmas of Aetolia.
