How do we flee greed? We flee, for starters, by recognizing that the idolatry of greed is rooted in a diminished view of God. That’s why we love and worship the idols of gold instead… We flee greed by looking to the liberally giving God of the Gospel. We have received all we need in Christ! To the extent then that we find our joy and rest in this God of the Gospel we are able to give liberally with love (see 1 Cor. 13:3). Just as greed defines pagans, increasing measures of liberality defines Christians (see Matt. 25:31-46).

"When I'm An Old Lady"
 
 
When I'm an old lady, I'll live with each kid,
And bring so much happiness...just as they did.
I want to pay back all the joy they've provided.
Returning each deed! Oh, they'll be so excited!
(When I'm an old lady and live with my kids)
 
I'll write on the wall with reds, whites and blues,
And I'll bounce on the furniture...wearing my shoes.
I'll drink from the carton and then leave it out.
I'll stuff all the toilets and oh, how they'll shout!
(When I'm an old lady and live with my kids)
 
When they're on the phone and just out of reach,
I'll get into things like sugar and bleach.
Oh, they'll snap their fingers and then shake their head,
(When I'm an old lady and live with my kids)
 
When they cook dinner and call me to eat,
I'll not eat my green beans or salad or meat,
I'll gag on my okra, spill milk on the table,
And when they get angry...I'll run...if I'm able!
(When I'm an old lady and live with my kids)
 
I'll sit close to the TV, through the channels I'll click,
I'll cross both eyes just to see if they stick.
I'll take off my socks and throw one away,
And play in the mud 'til the end of the day!
(When I'm an old lady and live with my kids)
 
And later in bed, I'll lay back and sigh,
I'll thank God in prayer and then close my eyes.
My kids will look down with a smile slowly creeping,
And say with a groan, "She's so sweet when she's sleeping!"

"I'm a SENIOR CITIZEN"
 
 
I'm usually interested in going home before I get to where I am going.
 
I'm good on a trip for at least an hour without my aspirin, antacid...
I'm the life of the party... even when it lasts until 8 PM.

I'm awake many hours before my body allows me to get up.
 
I'm smiling all the time because I can't hear a word you're saying.
 
I'm very good at telling stories.....over and over and over and over
I'm aware that other people's grandchildren are not as cute as mine.
I'm wrinkled, saggy, lumpy, and that's just my left leg.
 
I'm so cared for: long term care, eye care, private care, dental care...
I'm sure everything I can't find is in a secure place.
 
I'm not grouchy, I just don't like traffic, waiting, crowds, politicians...
I'm wondering, if you're only as old as you feel, how could I be alive at 100?
I'm in the initial stage of my golden years: SS, CD's, IRA'S, AARP.....
I'm a walking storeroom of facts.....I've just lost the key to the storeroom door.
 
I'm a SENIOR CITIZEN and I think I am having the time of my life!!!
 
Now if I could only remember who sent this to me!
 
 
"Running Away"
 
A man scolded his son for being so unruly and the child rebelled against his father. He got some of his clothes, his teddy bear and his piggy bank and proudly announced, "I'm running away from home!"
 
The father calmly decided to look at the matter logically. "What if you get hungry?," he said.
 
"Then I'll come home and eat!," bravely declared the child.
 
"And what if you run out of money?"
 
"I will come home and get some!," readily replied the child.
 
The man then made a final attempt, "What if your clothes get dirty?"
 
"Then I'll come home and let mommy wash them," was the reply.
 
The man shook his head and exclaimed, "This kid is not running away from home; he's going off to college."
