The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

1 Timothy 6:17-19, “Instruct those who are rich in this present world

not to be conceited or to fix their hope on the uncertainty of riches, but

on God, who richly supplies us with all things to enjoy.

18 Instruct them to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous

and ready to share, 19 storing up for themselves the treasure of a good

foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is life indeed.”

Paul’s warnings were always practical. If what he says seems otherwise,

Just remember that what he is writing is the Word of the LORD! Riches

are indeed uncertain. In the 1929 Stock Market crash, unbelievably

wealthy men threw themselves to death out of high buildings, because

the riches in which they trusted were suddenly and thoroughly wiped out!

Hope must always be founded on the LORD. Paul is not against riches; he

simply warns against trusting in them. He says we are to do good with all

the LORD has entrusted to us, and, thereby, be rich in good works. We are

also to be generous and eager to share what the LORD has entrusted to us.

While we cannot trust in money, we can and must trust the LORD as our

foundation. When we do this, we experience true life, which is always in Him!

You, Grands, are our riches! We have prayed for each of you even before

you were born. What you have become and are continuing to become,

we view as the LORD’s enrichment to us; and for that there’s not enough

money in the world to equal it!

Love you more than you’ll ever know this side of Heaven,

Nana & Dado III
