From Gary... 2 out of 3 works for me

Depression is serious; it can literally destroy lives. And our little cartoon character is looking for a remedy, BUT his idea for a "cure" is only partially correct. Looking for understanding and comfort is what he is RIGHT about, for love covers a multitude of sins (1 Peter 4:8). Now, coffee may perk him up a bit and that could be a good thing.  However, the two million dollars???

If someone gave me two million dollars- what would I do with it, anyway? Well, I would buy a 4000 square foot home on a 5 acre parcel of land in the country. I would replace our current vehicle with a new super-duper truck that would tow a huge 5th wheeler and a new Excalibur car for fun.  Anything left over, I would give to the kids for their retirement.

Now, the results--- first, taxes would take about $1 million. Add in the house and vehicles (about $850,000, I guess). That would leave about $150,000 for our kids. Wait, the taxes on that house and the upkeep would be about $10,000 per year and then I would probably need about $10,000 per year for travelling. So, it wouldn't be long before I went through what retirement funds I had and then where would I be? And I bet the kids would not call any more than they usually do, anyway...

Matthew, Chapter 6 (WEB)

 24  “No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other; or else he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You can’t serve both God and Mammon.   25  Therefore I tell you, don’t be anxious for your life: what you will eat, or what you will drink; nor yet for your body, what you will wear. Isn’t life more than food, and the body more than clothing?   26  See the birds of the sky, that they don’t sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns. Your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren’t you of much more value than they? 

  27  “Which of you, by being anxious, can add one moment to his lifespan?   28  Why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They don’t toil, neither do they spin,   29  yet I tell you that even Solomon in all his glory was not dressed like one of these.   30  But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today exists, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, won’t he much more clothe you, you of little faith? 

  31  “Therefore don’t be anxious, saying, ‘What will we eat?’, ‘What will we drink?’ or, ‘With what will we be clothed?’   32  For the Gentiles seek after all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.   33  But seek first God’s Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well.  34  Therefore don’t be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day’s own evil is sufficient. 

So, using money with a goal to acquiring my "dreams" probably would end in disaster, so spending it in accord with the "will of God" seems like a much better idea.

First, what it is not (anything according to the things of this world)

1 John, Chapter 2 (WEB)

15  Don’t love the world, neither the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the Father’s love isn’t in him.  16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, isn’t the Father’s, but is the world’s.  17 The world is passing away with its lusts, but he who does God’s will remains forever.

Second, what doing the "will of God" (verse 17) would entail...

Mark does an excellent job on this topic, so check it out.

Bottom line- As for me, give me the hug, and the coffee (McCafe coffee, please) and that will just have to do!!!
