Lessons from a Bad Economy / Lezioni della Cattiva Economia

Personally, what can we learn from hard times and a bad economy?
Personalmente, cio' che possiamo imparare da tempi duri e una cattiva economia? 
For me, I have learned that I have become spoiled and used to an easy life, thinking it will go on forever - well it won't.
Per mi riguarda, ho imparato che sono diventato viziato e utilizzati per una vita facile, pensando che andrà avanti per sempre - ma non lo sarà.
I learned that I wasted a lot of money on useless things that don't last or really matter.  I was foolish.
Ho imparato che ho sprecato un sacco di soldi per cose che sono non importa. Sono stato stupida.
 A bad economy has helped me to remember that we are really not in control...
Una cattiva economia mi ha aiutato a ricordare che non siamo davver incontrollo...
It has also reminded me that treasures will not last, only my soul...
Mi ha anche ricordato che i tesori non durera', solo la mia anima e l'eterno Signore.
MATTHEW 16:26 
For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? 
MATTEO 16:26 
Qual vantaggio infatti avrà l'uomo se guadagnerà il mondo intero, e poi perderà la propria anima? O che cosa l'uomo potrà dare in cambio della propria anima?

  9. Perfect insight ~ the verse is so powerful. It reminds me to pray for those close to my heart that do not know the Lord.
