I like what I see here in the Philippines and I first witnessed in Bulgaria. I like your years of life lost as you are, what my dad used to call, “House poor”. You can actually have a great job and no life because of debt!
The thing I look at is churches. Go I to debt, how much did you lose in really helping people? How much food, clothing, bibles, and message outreach or evangelism is forfeited for AC, sound system, comfy pews, nice carpet. How much peace is forfeited by the Pastor who has to make good on that every month? How does it change his or her priorities from kingdom to the natural? How much of a burden does it put in the faithful? And what is the ROI for the Kingdom?
The poor Filipino congregation waits. I saw this is Bulgaria! Wait! Dig footers, pour cement, one row of block and out is money. Wait! 6 months later, 4 more rows of block and out of cash. Wait! But when it is finished. Wow! Time to celebrate because it is finished and paid for!
I have been trapped in the American Dream and as you said, lost some years of my life.
Simple is better! As basic your life can possibly be is the best!
Thanks for the message! Steem Acres!
