Blessed

Dear Lord please be with us this day and may the Holy Spirit guide us into the understanding of wealth and poverty. Help us see that true wealth is in being needed by others, and being able to share love with others. True wealth is not measured in possessions that we may covet until we attain them, but in righteousness and peace of mind as we seek the Kingdom of God. Poverty can be avoided by sharing burdens and hardships with our neighbors, and living by the golden rule. In Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.
