Wealth: In your Hands or in your Heart?

Chick-fil-A has the best chicken sandwiches!  Ever since my first taste, I've been hooked.
Not only are the sandwiches great, but everything on the menu is delicious and fresh.

Recently, I started reading "Eat More Chikin: Inspire More People...Doing Business the Chick-fil-A Way" by S. Truett Cathy.  He is the founder of Chick-fil-A and his message is inspirational; not only as a business owner, but as a Christian.


In his book, he writes, "I try to store any material wealth in my hands, not my heart, so that I always feel free to give it away when the opportunity arises."

Such wise words.

They remind me of one of my favorite passages in the Bible:  Matthew 6:19-34

"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.  But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven.  For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."
