I received this as an email. I wanted to share it because it has a very powerful message that we all should remember during the financial crisis that exists today.
God's Value of Money
By: Vonette Bright
"...Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; a man's
life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions."
Luke 12:15
In these days of economic slowdowns and job layoffs, it's good to
remember the value God places on "money."
The poorest person in the world isn't the one who's gone bankrupt.
They're the one who is without God, and consequently without hope in
the world.
Some years ago, the editors of "The Wall Street Journal," made a
powerful statement. They pointed out:
"Money is the article which may be used as a universal passport to
everywhere, except heaven, and the universal provider of everything
except... happiness."
And, they're right!
You see, as Christians our happiness is centered on our personal
relationship with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Jesus said it best...
"A person's life doesn't consist of the things which he possesses."
Because, ultimately... The best things in life... AREN'T "things"!

Amen. But money is a necessary evil and the lack of it is causing me anxiety when thinking about how we're going to provide for the little bean. Prayer is about all we can do, right?
doesn't that say it all!!
