What are your thoughts about money? Many of us were taught that money is bad. Many people misunderstand the verse in the bible that says..."the love of money is the root of all evil." "Money" and "the love of money" are two entirely different things. Money is simply a "tool". We can use this tool for good or bad, right or wrong. Take a hammer for instance. Who's to say that a hammer is bad? It can do a lot of good and help people in many ways. But if used the wrong way, it can do a lot of harm and damage. Money is the same way. We can use it for evil, or we can use it to do good and help not only ourselves, but others. The person holding it gets to decide which way they choose to use it. Did you know that some of the most wealthy people in this world are givers? They give and give and give! If you were to study their lives, you would see how generous they really are. They understand the law of the universe that states... "When we give, something always comes back." This is one of the main reasons they are so wealthy. Many of us have this backwards. We say to ourselves... "Once I receive, then I will give." We may feel that we don't have anything to give, but this is not true. At the moment, it may not be money that we can give, but we all have something to share. We are here to help each other out, and as we do, we are always blessed in return. As you read through this story, feel free to dream. Dream about all the different things you would do with a million bucks. And think of all the ways you could share it to bless the lives of others.
