The Pearl #1

I think that wealth really changes a person. It changes their priorities, their view of themselves, and their view of the world around them. I wonder if there's a way to keep proper balance?

You can also be wealthy but can help those in need to. People will think of you as a wealthy caring person

It's okay to be wealthy as long as you think of other people besides yourself.

If you let Jesus into your heart, then he can make it easier for you to not see your wealth as a way to get you alot of stuff, but as a way to help the world in need.

very good ideas! do you think it's easy, or hard, to be humble if you're wealthy? what could you do to be sure that happened?

It doesn't matter how rich or poor a person is, as long as they are thankful for everything they have.

I think Mrs. Arnett is right. The Bible says that it would be easier for a cammel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the gates of heaven.

It would be hard to be humble if you were rich. But you can also think of others before yourself and what they need.

I like what Rachel said....focus on others. Have you known humble, rich people? What did you notice about them?

natalie said...

if you are wealthy and humble it will be easy beacuse you are helping people that are in need and other thing. God wants us to help other people.

Its great to be wealthy, but if your attitude changes from kind to stuckup people won't like you. If you are kind and caring people will be kind and care for you too.

Wealth changes some people,but others aren't as effected. It matters on your parents how the tought you to behave.

Most people that are wealthy keep most of it for them selves, but they do give some away to charities because then they will seem to the rest of the world that they are charitable.

Most people when they are rich they are mean. They always get things that they do not need, like when you are 8 and you have a expencive cell phone. Some rich people can be very nice too, helping the poore, or sending stuff to charitys.
