Are You Esau Or Jacob?

They sold their birthright for instant gratification. Now what?

Happy Sunday Service.

My observation and experience show that many people can’t stand discomfort for a short time. I mean, waiting in line for a minute or spending twenty minutes to prepare a meal. Everything must be fast and furious — instant gratification works for many of us in the US.

It’s true; most people will do anything to avoid hunger or danger. Safety is a priority, and many people don’t play games in unsafe environments or waste their time with dangerous or poor people.

Read part I here.

Money talks.

Money makes things happen and solves all money problems.

My work with foster children/parents taught me a lesson about lack and abundance.

Children placed in middle and upper-middle-class families usually adapted quickly because their foster parents didn’t depend on them and didn’t need government allowances. The children usually have nice and clean rooms, a housekeeper, healthy food, and extracurricular activities such as ballet, gymnastics, or soccer. These foster parents volunteered to give back to society.
