This is so sweet. I can remember my mother showing me her hands and told me they were hard working hands and that was the real truth. There wasn’t anything she couldn’t do!

Money Worries
March 24, 2011

Of His words recorded in the Bible, Jesus has more to say on money than any other topic. Luke 12 offers a good summary of His attitude. He does not condemn possessions, but He warns against putting faith in money to secure the future. Money fails to solve life’s biggest problems.

Although Jesus speaks to many aspects about money, He seems to concentrate on the question: What is money doing to you? Money can dominate a person’s life, diverting attention away from God. Jesus challenges us to break free of money’s power—even if it means giving it all away.

Jesus urges His listeners to seek treasure in the kingdom of God, for such treasure can benefit them in this life and the next one too. “Do not worry,” He says (v.22), for God is the one who provides for our needs. And then to emphasize His point, He brings up King Solomon, the richest man in the Old Testament. Jesus said that a common wildflower is clothed more gloriously by God than a royal king. So do not have an anxious mind (vv.27-29), “but seek the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added to you” (v.31).

Better to trust in the God who lavishes care on the whole earth than to spend our lives worrying about money and possessions.

The real measure of our wealth is what will be ours in eternity.

Read: Luke 12:22-31

Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom. —Luke 12:32

I think Scotty will go - I didn’t care for his song or presentation last night - it was not a good choice for him.

The more I see Pia - the more I like her!

Sorry to be getting here so late.
While looking for a Banana Boat You Tube, I got sidetracked. :)
I watched some Dean Martin and Nat King Cole songs.

Now, I MUST write some checks and get them in the mail.
Like Jaycee, I hate this little chore. :)

See you later this morning.
Have a Terrific Thursday.

[jaycee]

Terrific graphic and great old song! I used to really like Harry Belafonte but now he’s a hard leftist.....LOL! But I can still enjoy the song from long ago. Thank you, Amy and Billie.
