Sharing ones possession

<< < (2/2)

Hi Steve,
  I have wondered about this from time to time myself.  And I've been praying about it.  As Joe said, we're scattered for a reason and we are admonished to take care of our families and all.  I keep coming back to Zaccarahia..(can't spell..) who gave away half his possessions and Jesus said that surely salvation had come to his household.  He still had half of all the wealth he did have before.  I think we aren't supposed to be attached to our material possessions or to money (which I too worry about a lot...definitely a lot more than I should  :-[).  I try to give to people as I can, and I like the idea Darren that God is as interested in what we give of ourselves as what we give of our possessions.  But I think that if I were to be allowed to give everything away and live as a pauper, I would be proud about it.  So God is keeping these things around me and teaching me to not put value on them, just on Him alone, but to be able to live with the temptation of them being around to help keep me humble.  Does that make any sense?  Just my two cents...
