I read about a misfortune Ethiopian farmer who hid $12k in a haystack...
at first i thought to myself who would be so dumb to do that ... but after runing it through my brain it make sense to him as he works in a farm a huge posibility they don't keep savings in banks thinking about time frame it could be in the 18's o something not only that maybe he grew up in the farm without any education...
the misfortune part is when hungry rodents chewed it . almost 1/3 of his savings.. it may not seem much to some people but i bet it meant alot to him....
(matt 6:19) says that we shouldnt store up treasures here on earth. as things on earth is temporary...
eternal matters are not of the eyes to store it up i don't think we have a proper bank on earth for it. em... but things that last as for the fruit of the spirit, as for the lost souls u saved as for the lifes you touch are things that are worth much more than money however in times such as things money seem to be number 1 in most of peoples life that they strive honesty or by different means that they somehow lost themselves or lost what important in life..
Being happy is not just by hearing jokes, not just by shopping, sports ,food... well i got to admit i love shopping however such pleasure just last for a while... after that there is an empty feeling that we humans tend to find other things to fill it up...
i've learn that all these earthly things just kinda fill up that hole 4 a moment and then when it fades it digs a deeper hole for you to fill...thats when you see people is always in the sreach for something and when you ask them they would say" i don't know what i am looking for".
i am kinda lucky to fall and yet get up stronger than before... i have experience that feeling of being lost of direction like thinking to myself numberous of questions and yet don't have an answer.. see things change and happen yet felt hopeless....
well thats an encouragement for you... learn to hand things to GOd... i don't feel empty no more.. shopping its fun but its nt something i look forward to fill up my misery... learn to take things with a open heart live life with a purpose ..
