I continue to run that thought through my head when things like this happen ...I'm printing out directions for our field trip tomorrow (Schepf Farms!). An email from Focus on the Family is in my inbox. That's not uncommon, but the subject line read: God's Perspective on Money. Do you love it?! I do. Here's a cap:
While the Bible points out that money can be a snare for some people, wealth can be a good thing when it's used to help others and advance God's Kingdom. One of the ways God is using the current worldwide financial challenge for good is that many are recognizing the benefits of having a simpler life and not becoming overly focused on earthly, material possessions. As Hebrews 13:5 (NIV) says: "Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, 'Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you."

What a perfect verse to go along with our study too. That should be the one we memorize. We've read the Good Samaritan (the robbers stole the money; the good samaritan gave money to take care of the man); The old woman who gave her two copper coins; how Jesus was 'bought out' by Judas; etc.
