Thinking. Out loud pt1

It's about 48min down the hours of 11pm am seating In the comfort Of my best chair in the living Room. The follow of the cool evening breeze just keeps following through the windows into the living room hitting every part of me. In this simi celestial state the thoughts Of the future just sets in. Here in africa. Precisely Nigeria every young person is looking forward to making as much money as possible most of this desire are born out of the "success" of some individuals. Some of who are musicians, movie celebrities and much more. Taking a deep thought into the motive behind we young people wanting to make money I have found that many are so cought up with the lifestyle of  "celebrities" from driving expensive cars for wearing designer clothing and the fame that comes with it. Money which is generally know as currency is basically meant to be spent, but I oppose those with the above motive to making money. My father once told me "my son money is for three things 1. Invest in God's work(church), 2. To be spent on yourself and 3. To help others" I buy into my dad's explanation in totality. The 3rd point is were am paying more attention to in this thought of mine which is "to help others" someone once said "a life well spent isn't that measured by the flit of cars you own, neither is it measured by the statement your bank account says, but by the lives that gives thanks to God you where created" Paul enuche. This quote says it all. Having enough money is good, having lost of cars to some extent is also good, but what really measures the worthiness of any human is the lives he or she has impacted positively. Major faiths on earth agree on this. So dear reader while having the thought of making money so also have the thought of the true reason behind making it. A very popular Bible verse says, "its more blessed to give than to receive". Acts 20:35. #Jammal
