THE WISE INVESTOR
Everyone has money to
invest.
Children and teenagers
invest their money in candy, ice cream, baseball cards, gum, video games,
bicycles, cars etc.
Adults have been known to
invest in food housing, clothing, medical expenses, televisions, computers,
vacations, and a host of other things.

of the wealth that God has given.

contentment are better priorities than becoming wealthy or accumulating
