Friday's are not usually much hype for me but they can be fun. It's the little things that make me hapy, cheap red wine....pizza, maybe some make up , a movie it doesnt take hundreds of dollars to put a smile on this face. :) I had to get a new clutch installed in my car "suave mente" hehe. It was going out when we dicovered it some time ago. It's been looming over me because recently we had to wipe our savings for some hardcore car repairs.
This reminded me of the movie "UP". When the old man and his wife had to keep breaking their jar of savings for repairs and unforseen expenes, and becaue of that their adventure was posponed indefinitly, or so we think.
Do you often think about what it would be like if we were millionairs?
I do, and I don't think i would love it. That song is mostly true
"mo money mo problems". In the end will we get to take anything with us?
People kill , steal, and families are destroyed for, and because of money. Without it we can't survive! We can't eat, we can't provide, and you need money to get a job, and you need money to keep a job, you need money to keep you sane, and try to find some piece of mind. God wasn't kidding when he said we would have to toil, under the weat of our brow.
This leads me to a question I asked myself today, in the midst of releasing all my hard earned cash to bills, and necessties. "Where is your treasure?"
Matthew 6:19
Do not lay up for yourselves tresure on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven where moth, rust do not destroy and where thieves do not break in. For where your treasure is...there your heart will be also.
I realized that us Americans work so hard, and on friday, we call that check our own, and we are so ready to spend, and enjoy. What I have come to believe is that God is the one who pays me. He gives me favor with people, and blessings in disguise, and that money is a gift. I must be wise with it.Money isn't evil. It's the LOVE of money that is the root cause of the greed, and selfishness we have seen take over the world.
This is not meant to be a deep blog, i just wanted to shed some light on treasure. When i think of a treasure box, it almost always looks like it has a radiance, a glow, and it's precious.
I have to continue to believe that my treasure is in Heaven..... the promise of eternal life, on earth, it's Jesus, who has paved the way for me to redemption. Not paper, and coins ....
What's your treasure?
