Then someone called from the crowd , “Sir, please tell my brother to divide my father’s estate with me.” But Jesus replied, “Man who made me a judge over you to decide such things as that? Beware! Don’t always be wishing for what you don’t have. For real life and real living are not related to how rich we are.” I do not own the rights to this photo  Then He gave an illustration:  “A rich man had a fertile farm that produced fine crops. In fact, his barns were full to overflowing – he couldn’t get everything in. He thought about his problem, and finally exclaimed, I know – I’ll tear down my barns and build bigger ones! Then I’ll have room enough. And I’ll sit back and say to myself, “Friend, you have enough stored away for years to come. Now take it easy! Wine, women, and song for you!” But God said to him, Fool! Tonight you die. Then who will get it all?” Yes, every man is a fool who gets rich on earth but not in heaven. Luke12: 13-21 TLB I do not own the rights ...

This is the scenario: The utility bills come every month. You are able to pay your light bill and water & sewage bill on time; however, the gas bill is always late!
