Karlyn LLJ week 4 day 2

Good Morning Girls.  I'm very sad and prayerful for those at the marathon yesterday.  I don't believe there is safety anywhere anymore.
Knox goes to the doc today to have xrays read, he may have pneumonia.

S - Luke 12:15, 20-21 Then he said, " Beware guard against every kind of greed.  Life is not measured by how much you own.

20-21 But God said to him, 'You fool!  You will die this very night.  Then who will get everything you worked for?'  "Yes a person is a fool to store up earthly wealth but not have a rich relationship with God."

O - "Guard against every kind of greed"  This statement is making me think, "what are all the different kinds of greed?".  I'm thinking anything I have an excess of shows greed in that area.  I've got a lot of excess.  Excess is something I've been trying to work on for about 10 months.  The less greedy I am, the less excess I have, the better my relationship is with Christ b/c stuff doesn't get in the way.

A - I desire a RICH relationship with Christ.  My whole self functions so much better when I'm rich in him and poor (not greedy) with things!  It's hard because I enjoy new things and pretty things.  I've been asking God to help me find contentment in what I've got and repurpose things so I don't want more.  I also want to be able to help others with their needs and if I'm always getting new I don't have resources to help others.
Today I will think about TEMPORARY THINGS and IMPORTANT THINGS

P- Lord help me to fill my basic with eternal important things.  Help me to strip down and run with those things that are pleasing to you.  Thank you for taking away worry yesterday and thank you for what you will provide today.
