Patriot, there was a reason Jesus stated, it will be easier for a camel to walk through the eye of a needle then a rich person entering the Kingdom of Heaven.
Yessir. It's what i always say to folks: It is one thing getting money and a certain lifestyle. The real rub is when one strives to KEEP it. That is often where corruption sets in.
You get a taste of that often decadent, hedonistic life, and you JUST HAVE TO have a "little more".
By hook or by crook, to hold onto ill gotten gain.
Heh heh, that is why i sorta keep things a little more Spartan. Not that i have money in any case, i am below middle class. I dont wanna get soft. I did upgrade from the bed of nails. Kek. Just barely. Double kek.
My feather bed is in Heaven, praise Jesus, King of Kings. Lord and Savior. (i just sorta got caught up for a moment. whew.)
Patriot, one should never take their Blessings for granted and lose touch to what is really important in life.
Brother, i just read something earlier today that spoke of the exercise of gratitude, how it can fill one up and help to heal.
So i will write my own personal scrip for MOAR GRATITUDE.
Your speaking of gratitude is well said, for the most important things are not merely possessions to be held in one's hands, but the qualities of the heart, and of the Spirit.
Giving thanks to the One Who Gave it ALL: Christ Jesus
Have a blessed day. Heh, even earlier a saint said to me that in the Hebrew to say bless you means "may you hear from God today". Hey, now that is good.
Godspeed.
