So I've been thinking about this topic a bit. And struggling with wants vs needs. Not an easy subject but an essential one.<br /><br />When I consider Who or what my treasure is, of course I want it to be Jesus and then my family and their foundation in Him, but I realize how much I store in worldly things and take the important,Susanne Dietzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09710634601407161821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-87944028530432763122010-11-14T15:29:35.699-05:002010-11-14T15:29:35.699-05:00The siren song of "Stuff" is so tempting...The siren song of "Stuff" is so tempting. We're barraged all day long with the notion that this item or that luxury will make us happy and successful. But things can never make us more than temporarily happy. Even the world acknowledges that, and yet they can't seem to find any other answer. <br /><br />So glad that I have found the answer! <br /><br />Thanks for the reminder toLisa Karon Richardsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02175430876079208723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-1202358017455210632010-11-14T15:04:02.265-05:002010-11-14T15:04:02.265-05:00Dina, it's great to be able to recognize our c...Dina, it's great to be able to recognize our children's skills and guide them. I'm not even sure I had any idea of my own skills and talents when I graduated from high school!<br /><br />Still not sure.<br /><br />I know you are an awesome mom, and you and Dani will send them out with a very sound foundation.Debra E.

Especially in areas that will help them to fulfill the ministries God has given them. Sort of investing in treasures that will also invest in future treasures.Dina Sleimanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05214446103057806111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-72274089221400651452010-11-14T11:20:43.617-05:002010-11-14T11:20:43.617-05:00I came across your post today.

For me staying out of debt is a big plus and learning to be content. If Paul can be content while imprisoned, what do I have to complain about?<br />All the answers for a good way of life are in the bible and you made some very good comments.<br />Ann Summervillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13300190648788509096noreply@blogger.com
