“Money, in truth, is one of the most unsatisfying of possessions. It takes away some cares, no doubt; but it brings with it quite as many cares as it takes away.
There is trouble in the getting of it. There is the anxiety in the keeping of it. There are the temptations in the use of it. There is the guilt in the abuse of it. There is the sorrow in the losing of it. There is the perplexity in the disposing of it."
J.C. Ryle, Practical Religion
How true! Those words ring true this time of the year when we think of the spending we may need to do.
