B & B by Gary Rose

Nice meal, and a place to sleep equals contentment.  Enjoy life, its too short (especially if you are a dog)! But, I wonder how many of us spend our lives in the eternal quest for more and more and more MONEY?

Then, one day, something happens; sickness, death in the family, we file bankruptcy or one of the thousands of maladies that can happen to a human being. Then, we wake up. Its not about money or things or the lust to have any of the stuff we thought was so important. Its about life and not just living; I mean real life!!

Paul says to Timothy...

1 Timothy, Chapter 6 (World English Bible)

  ⁶ But godliness with contentment is great gain.  ⁷ For we brought nothing into the world, and we certainly can’t carry anything out.  ⁸ But having food and clothing, we will be content with that. (emp added vss. 6-8) ⁹ But those who are determined to be rich fall into a temptation, a snare, and many foolish and harmful lusts, such as drown men in ruin and destruction.  ¹⁰ For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some have been led astray from the faith in their greed, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

Now, I am not suggesting that you fall asleep at the dinner table with your face on that plate you just ate from, but I am suggesting that a life lived with God yields content (vs.6 above).

Think about it today, OK? I am- and will!!!
