Which is better at the end--more time, praise or works?



I’d rather have Jesus

And silver and gold

For how can I help


A friend if I’m cold?


 

I’d rather have Jesus

With houses and land

I could fix up a few

Give the homeless a hand

 

I’d rather have Jesus

Plus worldwide fame

I could strew even more

His lovely heart and name

 

Yes, I’d rather have Jesus

With thing after thing

For the more I can afford

The more time for our Lord.

I surely know you love Jesus. You are so laid back about it all too. Passing it on to others how you feel is so nice of you too.

Nice departure from the usual message involving Jesus, which typically entails speaking against material possessions. You cleverly brought reality to the situation.

Paul,

Me, too. :) Not because I'm poor (which I am). BUT: I am rich, because I have JESUS! He sees me through. He's always provided just when I needed it the most. Thank you for this inspiration, well done!

(((((HUGS)))) and love, Karla.

I agree. Properly used, money is a vehicle for good. And of course, Jesus is always good!

Love,
Susan
