Money Talks & Bullshit Walks!

You know, the Bible says that the love of money is the root of all evil!  Well, the Bible does not lie!  People can say that money doesn't matter to them, but their actions speak louder than words!  I have found in all my years of living that money is good for living expenses, 'cause you gotta eat, etc.  However, when people strive to get more and more material gains, they become greedy--one of the seven deadly sins!  Over the years, I have experienced many times when money was scarce; you learn to adapt.  More times than not, I had everything I needed; sometimes were just harder to muddle through than others.  Now I have more than enough to be comfortable, but I am never extravagant.  I buy what I need and want (within reason), and I am truly blessed to have what I do.  I have been more philanthropic now than ever, and you know what--it does come back to you ten-fold!  I give money away without a second thought to family members who need it; years ago that money would have been stolen right out from under me by some stranger or even supposed friend.  So many times I have been duped into giving people money or they just outright stole it from me.  If they had asked for it, I probably would have given it to them without question.  I thank the Lord every day that I have gotten this far in life without being too needy.  My dad was a generous person and somehow always knew when I needed financial help.  The money would be in the mail without any word from me.  He just sensed it.  I have tried so hard to be that way now that I am older.  I hope to continue to be generous in my dad's honor.  Maybe he is smiling down on me right now!  Love you, DAD!!!
