Money is Not the Measure: Happy with Cardboard Houses

One of my biggest problems is feeling like I always need to be productive. And by productive, I mean doing things that lead to making money.I was playing with my daughter, building a house out of cardboard boxes.And I realized that, by monetary standards, I wasn’t being productive, but I was happy. I felt full and satisfied.On a deeper level, it felt like an eternal investment, tending the home of my daughter’s heart.For the Christian, money is not the measure of a rich and rewarding life. That kind of life isn’t earned—it’s given: a life spent loving God and others.
