Sharing the Savior’s Story

How Much is Enough? III

Power cannot give you security or a thankful heart. In December of 2000, Enron stock sold for $84.87 a share. One year later that same stock sold for 45 cents. Money cannot give you security or a thankful heart. Do you know these names: Emil Jannings, Janet Gaynor, Lewis Milestone, Frank Borzage? These people won the first Academy Awards for best actor, actress, and directors. Once their names were known around the world, today they are almost forgotten. Earthly security is a myth, temporal security is a mist, and everything else humankind can invent will miss the mark. Thanksgiving only comes when the heart and the soul are secure.
