When it comes to greed, it seems that no matter how much a person has, it is never enough; they always want more. Those who genuinely believe that owning the most expensive home, driving the most luxurious car, and wearing only designer clothes made from the finest materials equate to success and bestow a sense of power are mistaken. True happiness is achieved only when we are loved and appreciated for who we are, and most importantly, blessed by our Lord.

We rarely, if ever, consider what we have; worse yet, we neglect to thank the Lord.
