Just wondering if we're being looked over,and why would God do that?My inlaws are having a yard sale&got money in a safe,why can't they give that stuff away to who could use it?So why do they stay with all that money? My husband and I do what we can for whoever needs any help.Thats why I wonder why we don't get extra from God to help ourselves and others?

Well, you are doing good by doing what you can for other people, pat yourself on the back! There is a point where they have to help themselves, however, so I think it is ok, for example, for your inlaws to have a yard sale. Maybe you can suggest that they donate what they don't sell to the Salvation Army or the Red Cross, or get together with them and have a sell, and find a local charity to donate the proceeds to.

To some money comes at their will and to others it never comes easy, since god does not interfere with our affairs, its not his fault, but so many people need more money so they can enjoy all live has to offer, so it it the fault of the pen holder, they decide what things are worth, but on the other hand we are just building the vision of the rich anyway, so be happy that you have the basis and enjoy the more simple things in life and when rich people say oh that's nice but we did this, shun them by not listening

Why do you look for money to feel rich? If you accepted Jesus as your savior, you are wealthier than Bill Gates with all of his money. Money wont buy you the happiness you think it does. But salvation through Jesus will get you into heaven where all your riches there can be stored and waiting for you. Live you life for Jesus and He will see to it that in His time frame, all of your needs will be met.

First i am very happy to know that u try to help the others who are in-need.
To give Anything excess than what u need, is very easy. By giving if
we get a sense of pride that's ego playing in back- drop, if u give with detachment that when u will be enlightened with the joy of giving

You are doing the right thing. Your only problem is expecting a reward on earth, which God can give you if you so desire. Wouldn't it be better to have all your good be rewarded by getting into Heaven? That in itself will not get you onto Heaven by the way. Unfortunatelysome thing good deeds is the way and some think they can buy their way in ,but Jesus is the only way. I think most good people know that.

I think you are completely wrong in judging your in-laws and in thinking about God's generous reward.
People are free to make money legally and they are free to decide how and where to use it, no matter how rich they are.
They are not dishonest, they are not bad as long as they don't act against God's Will. And only God can judge them justly.
You can use your money as you wish and judge your own self.

Help thyself first.
Your in laws are smart.You don`t know if they donate to any charities ,do you ?
The rich have to donate some of their assets to off-set taxation.
How much are you suffering because you Donate to your religious hierarchy and provide extravagant lifestyles for them .
WAKE Up and Question Authority .

maybe God wants many of us to learn some little, but very important lessons: contentment and sacrifice.

Some are greedy. We can't take it with us. The only thing we can "take" is souls, through salvation.
