ART BY PAUL BOECHER – INSPIRATION BY KATHY BOECHER

In my lifetime I have experienced living with little, living modestly, living with means and living with little once again. When you have money, it doesn’t mean you’re happier or twice blessed. It simply means you have more to be in charge of. Having wealth can bring some sense of freedom from worry, but it doesn’t buy peace of mind or happiness or love or the things of true value including eternal life. Whatever we are blessed with in this life is a gift from God and should be managed as such. God gives us so much more than worldly riches. He gives us the silver of His forgiveness and the gold of an inheritance with Him in heaven.

Don’t give me a mansion on top of the hill,

Don’t give me the world with a shallow thrill,

But just give me a Savior, my life He can hold,

I’d rather have Jesus, than silver or gold.

Kirk Franklin

Dear Heavenly Father, I am so grateful for the many blessings you’ve bestowed on me in my lifetime. I’ve been given the opportunity of going through good and bad times in my years. I can really say I’ve been blessed by both. Through those times, you’ve shown me the important things in life are not material or tangible. Each day brings your provision, your attention, your grace and your love. When it’s time for me to take my last breath, I know that you have prepared a place for me in eternity. I have so much more to look forward to. AMEN!

THANK YOU, JESUS, FOR ANOTHER DAY!
