When its all said and done....

Sometimes its as simple as being content. With your present, in your circumstance.
For how will you ever appreciate the glory in greatness if you dont see it in the air you breathe? In the clothes on your back? The food on your table? The friends and family loving you and cheering you on?
You mad because you don't get to have a pair of shoes? Tell that to the man who's just praying he had feet to begin with. Sad because you raising your babies alone? Be the best of both worlds for your little one, their love is your reward. Hundreds, thousands, millions of married people can't conceive and they crying out to God everyday just for a minute of a day in the life of you.
There's a fine line between need and greed. At what point does one go from one point to the other? From working to fulfill ones needs to satisfying ones greed? The man who started out trying to provide for his wife and kids, years later with millions and billions in the bank but not a second to be spared for the ones that should matter.
Priorities. Blurred. Who's serving who? We want to believe money serving us but really? If u can't have a moment of sleep trying to find it, who's the slave?
And is it possible to shut it all down and say ive run my race and made it to the finish line? I can go home, hug my kids, kiss my wife and we can just live. Free from it all.
There's always room to make money. Always more money to be made.
Time.....point me to a man who's ever managed to put it on hold.
To be content.
To pick ones fight.
Choose to love. A love that is kind, that is true and pure, patient and enduring.
Choose to hope.
In all things to be faithful, to believe.
Perseverance.
Courage.
Love. Mindlessly, wholeheartedly, hopelessly. Its the greatest of all things.
