Episode notes

In the new testament we see this word eucharista, or eucharisteo. And that word means thankfulness or gratitude. If if the enemy is discontentment, then generosity is the friend of gratitude. Christians should be some of the most grateful people on the planet because of the gift we've been given in jesus. Are we giving time and energy and connections and expertis are we giving away in a way where god's love is flowing thru us to other people? When we're doing that, man, Grateful people land on their heels.

Chasing riches is an enemy of gratitude and a catalyst for discontentment: A lot of things can steal our contentment as dads; especially something like money that will have us staring at our bank account, obsessed with the numbers inside. Only serving money will usher destruction into our lives. However, If we trust God with our money, we'll soon discover genuine gratitude and learn how little we actually NEED. If we give (money, time, energy, expertise) out of pure generosity and desire to serve others, God's grace can flow through us and into them.
