Jo, goodness knows where you find these great sayings. Reading the comments added below adds to your piece. I heard yesterday evening that a young woman I know in her early 30's had died. The latest goodies does not make us better, always something else goes on the list of the 'must haves'. I could go on but will stop

So sorry to hear about your very young friend passing... I so agree with all that everyone has to say !!! I go thru the same things with my boys... This came to me over night... believe it or not.. sometimes I wake up and have this stuff in my head... some times I look in my multitude of reading material and post what I hope is a wise saying.. I always post the name of the Author if I use something from them.. Jo

Praying that my grown children can learn the secret of contentment soon, rather than later after years of foolish spending of resources!!
