Satisfy and Be Thankful

The word ‘satisfy’ might bring us down. Some people tend to be lazy and don’t want to do anything. It seems that they’re really satisfied and stop doing good efforts in this life.

Of course that’s not what I mean when I wrote about money and wealth. According to the book of Ecclesiastes:

Whoever loves money never has money enough;
whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with his income. This too is meaningless.

--- Ecclesiastes 5:10

The verses there tend to see everything as meaningless, including the love of money and wealth. Of course, I don’t want to be a hypocrite by saying that we don’t need money. We need it-to some extent-we might love it. The most important thing is: not to put money ontop of everything. There are more valuable things rather than money or wealth. We need to think of the family value, God, and the happiness being surrounded by money but with a good relationship with Him. It’s good that we can be satisfy and be thankful, while trying to grow better in handling the wealth. So, with money and wealth, we can be a blessing to others. We can do charity, social works, helping people in time of needs…Doing good things and not causing disasters with the greed of it.
