Monday, November 11 – What is greed?



"Take care! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; for one's life does not consist in the abundance of possessions."                                                     Luke 12:53 (NRSV)
What is greed?  Wanting more?  Not knowing the meaning of “enough”?  Not knowing how to feel grateful?
About what are you “greedy”?  cookies?  Ice cream?  Long showers?  Clothes?  Time with ___________ ? 
What happens when you or someone else is greedy?  Negative feelings...right?
What happens when you or someone else is not greedy...when we share...food...clothes...cars...TV...time...money?
Lord God of all things, take away greed from my life, give me sharing instead.
