Wealth

I had a friend so blessed with wealth, Owned a house and vast properties, She had one brother of poor health, Brain damaged with lost memories. I had a cousin blessed with wealth, Loved money so much won't spend it, Held it like ice cream, watched it melt- And the joy of life he'd forfeit. I had an aunt so blessed with wealth, Her heart was cold and uncaring. Money seemed to numb all she felt, It prevented her from loving. I may not be quite blessed with wealth But God gave me more than just things. Through all my joys and tears He held This life - I'm thankful for living. Cynthia Buhain-Baello~~~02.17.16 ""A man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions." (Luke 12:15)

Your final verse says all that I myself say YES to... Wealth can be a blessing but only if we use it sensibly and wisely... Well done Cynthia! Warmest wishes, Keith
