Money can't buy

I bet if you were to ask one hundred people, "If they could have one wish what would it be," almost all would want more money. Money is a strange thing, you can't eat it but you can buy things to eat with it. You can't build shelter with it but you can buy a place to live with it. You can't improve your health with it but you can certainly destroy yourself chasing it.

I think we all know people that will work all the times and chase the dollar with all that they have. They will sacrifice family, friends, health to make one more dollar. While they think they are doing all their hard work for the betterment of family, what family really needs a lot of time is some time.

Today's thought is one that my Pops reminded me of years ago, and one that I have heard since: "Never get so busy making a living that you forget to make a life."

What good will it do you to die rich? The old question goes, "Do you know what you leave behind when you die?" The answer - EVERYTHING. When we are called to meet the LORD, we will leave everything we have done, everything we have accumulated, everything we have tried to save in this world. We will not take anything from this world with us into eternity, except, of course, our decision to accept JESUS as our SAVIOR (or not).

We've all got to make a living. We all have bills to pay and things to do. We all have loved ones to care for and to provide for. But, just as they need the necessities of life, they also need us. Our loved ones need more than the money we can provide; they need us involved in their lives. They need the things that money can't buy.

Be Blessed,
