I put money in real estate
in the stock market
in that high-yield CD.
Goosebumps pimple the skin.
How much will I make?
the mind wonders.
The balance rises
as I count the riches
a warm blanket of safety
across my life.
But then…always
the condo sits vacant
the Dow tumbles
I need cash and it’s tied up
in that darn CD.
I listen as the True Financial Advisor says,
Only one investment
offers safety now and forever.
Only one investment
pays limitless dividends
and eternal compounded interest.
Only one investment
is worth the effort.
All else is effect.
Invest in Me
that Inner Power says
and all will come to you.
Great point and wonderfully written. Financially I am always struggling to see what is my desire and His will.
Me too, Bob. Many lessons blossom in that realm.
I especially love this one! So very very true!
Hope you are doing well,
Love,
K
Thank you, Kelley. I am doing great, the seeds stirring under the earth, preparing to open forth. I hope you are too.
perfect…

First cause rocks and “leave this space clear at all times”!
So true, Bobby. Many lessons about this these days. Thank you for the reminder.
Matthew 6:20
Store your treasures in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal.
I love that, Lawrence, so true and beautiful! Thank you.
Beautifully expressed – and so true.
Thank you, Theresa. The Beloved definitely brought this through to me.
I believe it is on page 268 of the second volume of Letters where it is explained that the more attention we give to finances, the more they will recede from us. Investing “where it really counts” is the only reasonable solution to the mind’s drama of fearing there will not be enough. Fear comes from worry of something in the future. Living in the present with the Master’s warm blanket of security sure beats out any future fear of lack. I think I just won the understatement contest 🙂
Beautiful poem, wonderful addition, Lesley. Thank you for sharing it.
