Luke 12:15<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThen He said to them, \u2018Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; a man’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.\u2019 \u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

When I was a kid we lived in a small house that was built in 1928. By the way, I was born in 1934, so you can get some idea about the age of the house. It had a living room, dining room, kitchen, 2 bedrooms, a bath (which we added since it originally was equipped with a path to an outhouse) and a screened in porch. My folks purchased it for less than five thousand dollars.<\/p>\n

I just went on line and guess what?! That same house is now for sale for $208,000. I almost dropped my teeth when I saw the price! We were very content in that little house on Park Street, unlike modern families that feel they need expansive room.<\/p>\n

There were five of us who lived in the house on Park Street— my dad, my mom, my brother, me – – – – and the Lord. The Lord was always part and parcel of our family. Perhaps that is why we never felt cramped or deprived. It was a place that was always home and we felt wealthy.<\/p>\n

There was a wringer wash machine on the screened porch where mom did the laundry and a clothesline in the yard where she hung wet clothes to dry. We never had much of this world\u2019s goods, but oh, how wealthy we were. We had a family that loved one another and when we gathered to listen to dad read from God\u2019s Word and pray, we were richer than many who had far more.<\/p>\n

God has called us to find our wealth in Him. Whether we live in a tenement, a tent, a ten bedroom house, it really does not matter. True wealth, the wealth that will last for eternity is to have Jesus a part of the family. Invite Him in today.<\/p>\n

Blessings dear hearts. Draw near to God today, trust Him completely and be a blessing!<\/p>\n
