who's rich?

"The Lord is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love." Psalm 145:8

"Mrs. Williams, I am rich!!"
"Wow, Wayne!  How wonderful."
"Yes!! I have 902 ---- cents!"

In colorful detail he explained his weighty wealth... a couple of dollar bills, various coins, and a heap of pennies. Only out of the mouth of a child could such excitement be generated over possessing 902 cents.

Are you rich?  Wealth truly is in the eyes of the beholder and is measured in various ways...

One can be rich in friends, rich in kindness, rich in family, rich in opportunities, rich in joy, rich in memories and even rich in pennies.  

Yet, the greatest treasure of all is found being rich in the love of God.  And if you are interested in increasing your wealth, the surest way is to actually give it away.  Share the love of our Father with others, and watch it multiple.

"See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!" 1 John 3:1

we are loved and chosen by God,
may we live like we believe it,
