Contented
Author: Unknown
Don't have money, don't have fame,
But I have Jesus and I can call on His name....
His name gives me power, His name gives me strength,
His name gives me hope, His name gives me joy,
He fills me up with love, makes my cup overflow,
I know my Savior loves me
And I love Him so
Money makes you anxious,
Money makes you afraid
Whether you have a lot, a little
Or none at all
When you have it you cannot keep it
For you must pay bills
Big and small
Why chase behind it when...
With us it cannot go
In the grave we cannot spend nor count it
Trust me the love of it makes it our foe....
Money may buy nice things, a house, a car or land
It may make you look pretty
But it's all within a time span.
To keep them
You have to spend more and more,
Work harder than before
So let's all be contented
with what little we do have
The things of value
Can't really be stored in the bank
I thought you'd know that
For stocks crash and burn
Houses do too you know...
Why, 'twere not for the love of Jesus,
You probably wouldn't be you.
Spread a little joy, Share a big smile
Say hello to someone
You haven't in a while
Visit the sick today
They may not be here tomorrow
That way... you'd have no regrets to show
Share your bread in two
Great joy you will know
Walk with God daily
Sing a song of praise
Then your life shall be merry
Even when there is rain.

Money makes you anxious, Money makes you afraid... Unfortunately, the lack of it can have that effect, too. Perhaps, it's knowing when one has enough and does not allow greed for more to rob one of enjoying what this life has to offer, when not in the pursuit of excess money. As the poet writes, its so much better to Spread a little joy, Share a big smile Say hello to someone... and be Contented. Thanks for sharing.
Well written.....
