Invest in your future

If we are entrusted with a humungous amount of money would we spend it all at once on every fleeting pleasure or invest at least the majority for our future? I'm afraid I didn't handle my money well. I was fortunate enough to get 2 nice inheritance checks totalling enough to at least buy a newer car. Instead I ended up spoiling kids and grandkids and buying things I hadn't been able to afford before like clothes and shoes. I did pay a few bills but not many. Now as my old car is getting grumpy in it's old age I wish I had spent more wisely. Jesus entrusts us with skills and abilities and we need to use those for our future in heaven. While our talents are limited to this life on earth if we use them wisely they will be an investment in our heavenly future. In whatever we do our eye should be on our eternal future and not on the temporal and limited life here on earth!

God bless!

 I used to be a spendthrift.  I still spend too much on my Munchkin grandchildren, and on yarn.  I had been in bankruptcy a little over a year ago, and am now squaring away my debt with three of my creditors.  

Now, I am giving more to my church, and being blessed in that my job at the hospital is paying me even though they are closed for repairs due to the flooding from Irene and Lee.  

Hugs,
Trish

Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.
