A recent Wall Street Journal article addressed the age old question: Does Money Bring Happiness?
Answer, NO. Yes, there might be a temporary "high", but looking deeper at purchases or extravagant vacations, people admitted that they did not find happiness...lasting happiness. What did bring happiness were experiences and giving to charity, or just helping others.
Yesterday, Veterans Day, several local restaurants provided meals for Veterans. One owner said, "It's a wonderful thing to give back." He found joy in serving 1000 free meals to those who had sacrificed, even jeopardized, their lives so that we can enjoy the freedoms and prosperity that we have today. In Acts, (20:35) we read, "It is more blessed to give than to receive." The truth is there for the taking. May we put it into practice today.
