Food for thought

Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you." Hebrews 13:5

Why is this so hard to remember? So many times we focus on money and the kind of work we can do to make the amount of money that we "should" have. When in all reality it doesn't matter at all. God will take care of everything as long as we are careful and grateful for what we do have.

I know for my life, I want to give everything up to God. I don't care if I have a job that makes millions as long as I am doing what God has for me and doing what I love. I want to love others and do what I can to help them out. I have all I could ever need and I am so grateful for what God has given me. He has blessed me with more then I could ever want. A great family, friends, a home, clothes, food, a great school, and enough money to have fun and do other things as well. That isn't even close to the full list of things that God has provided for me. However, there are so many people in this world that don't even have half of those things. All I know is that we need to be more thankful for what we do have and give all of the glory to God because He will provide for our lives, and I think if we focus on Him then things will only get better.
