Live a Worthy Life

Thought for the Week

Live a Worthy Life: No one who lived for riches or fame or power ever died satisfied. So live a life “that neither moth nor rust can destroy.” It may or may not make you wealthy, famous, or powerful, but it will feed your soul. And when you die, you will die satisfied and at peace.

    Good encouragement for the week! If only had the consistent goal each day to treat every person I meet as though I would never see them again.

    PS – Check out the book “Theo of Golden” by Allen Levi. He is a wonderful storyteller and I HIGHLY recommend it. You will be blessed. 🙂

    L’homme ou la femme qui a du pouvoir sur d’autres hommes ou femmes et qui n’en abuse jamais est un saint.
    au sens où il réussit à résister à ce que produit quasiment toujours le pouvoir
    à savoir le sentiment d’une supériorité sur l’Autre.
    Celui qui n’est pas un saint et qui a du pouvoir, à l’instant où il s’aperçoit qu’il ne parvient pas à combattre cette tentation et ce qu’elle entraine, doit lâcher le pouvoir qu’il détient, tout comme on lâche un objet brûlant que l’on aurait pris par erreur dans la main.

  6. This is so true, Mitch. The feeling of undertaking something worthwhile, that makes a difference, and then completing it, is second to none. We need everyone one to remember this more than ever, especially with what lies ahead

  7. Yes! I have been thinking a lot about how so many people are looking for fulfillment in this world to which they will always come up empty. God is the only one who will fill and satisfy. Be well Mitch!

  8. Whatever you do: Do ​​nothing that you should be ashamed of before your Creator.

  12. Lovely reminder to focus on this week!

    I heard something yesterday that this reminded me of, that the verse indicates that your heart follows where you put your treasure. That we can make a conscious decision where to invest or place our treasure, and as we do our hearts will follow.

    Very interesting! We often wait for our hearts to tell us the right way to invest, but we can decide and our hearts will get on board!

    Thank you!
