MONEY AND GRATITUDE=BE HAPPY!
In its proper place=
Money can be
A great thing
It can PROVIDE comfort=freedom=
Generosity=service and FUN=
It is WHEN-
We put money=OUT OF
Its proper priority=when we
Put money out of its proper place
That it CREATES PROBLEMS
When we love the BLESSINGS
Of money=MORE than we love
THE ONE who blesses us
With the gift of money
When we love the STUFF-
Money can buy=
More than the SOURCE
Of our life
“Let your life BE FREE
From love of money
But be content
With what you have
For he has said
'I will never forsake your
Or abandon you'” Hebrews 13:5
The WRITER tells us
Something really important
With the verse
“BE CONTENT
With what you have”
We NEED to appreciate
What we have=we need
To be THANKFUL
To God and to others
For what we have
Make it a point
TO PRACTICE GRATITUDE=
We need to be well-rounded=
We need to be THANKFUL
And GRATEFUL for what we have
“But may the righteous
Be glad=and rejoice before God
May they BE HAPPY=and joyful” Psalm 68:3
“A HAPPY HEART
Makes the face cheerful=but heartache
Crushes the spirit” Proverbs 15:13
“Is anyone=among you in trouble?
IS ANYONE HAPPY?=
Let them=sing songs of praise” James 5:13
We need
TO BE THANKFUL
For what we have
No matter how little-
Or no matter how much=
We need to GIVE GOD
The credit=for what we have
I laugh to myself
WHEN someone tells me
That they are
A SELF-MADE man or woman
There is no such thing
We are all BLESSED by God=
And blessed BY OTHERS
And their efforts
Make giving thanks
To God and to others
A REGULAR PART of
Your daily routine
Be thankful=PRACTICE GRATITUDE
“Therefore since we are receiving
A kingdom=that cannot be shaken
Let us BE THANKFUL-
And so worship God=acceptably
With reverence and awe” Hebrews 12:28
Let us NOT worry about money=
Let us be thankful to God=
FOR ALL that we have
And we will BE HAPPY
In Jesus' name=and in the name=of our ALWAYS GIVING HOLY FATHER!
