A devout life does bring wealth, but it's the rich simplicity of being yourself before God. Since we entered the world penniless and will leave it penniless, if we have bread on the table and shoes on our feet, that's enough.
1 Timothy 6:6-8

This is the first translation from the message that I have ever liked. I normally don't like the message. I just love the picture you paired it with also. It really jumped out at me. You have inspired me to check out more of the Message.
ReplyDeleteLove that picture and verse! :) I was looking at that sweet picture of you and your husband and I think he and my husband could be brothers! :) Take a look at the picture here... I think they resemble each other (at least in the face a bit!)
