In the end, there's certainly nothing wrong with having a few comforts in this life, but we're far richer if we focus on bringing Glory and Honor to His Gifts.<br /><br />Thank you for a wonderful post, and have a Blessed Day!Phather Phil Malmstromhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13381497588682411499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2501996593127787714.post-76572534912839937862011-02-03T18:53:50.369-06:002011-02-03T18:53:50.369-06:00When I think about the passionate emotions that go...When I think about the passionate emotions that go along with those "keepin' up" purchases I am ill over what is wasted on "things" instead of Him. Great reminders.

If only our family could understand that, we'd be good! I was telling my grandmother the other day about some people that we knew who had just bought a new Land Rover. My husband is also fixing to remodel their kitchen and several other things. She said, "See if Jon had a 'real' job you could have stuff like that too." OOOOKKKK....my husband is self-employed as a carpenter and I work part-time as a nurse. We work, but don't feel that we have to keep up with everyone else.<br />Kinda touched a nerve in case you couldn't tell :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09463134683154047126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2501996593127787714.post-4567668451480745422011-02-03T16:55:53.906-06:002011-02-03T16:55:53.906-06:00What a great reminder!

Like you said those things won't get us to heaven where our forever home is. I don't want to miss out on my forever home.

Instead ...Worldly trinkets are just that...worldly. Instead of keeping up with the Jone's (and I totally know what you mean) I guess we should be doing the opposite because thats what Jesus would do. The Bible says we can't have one foot in the world and one out. It's one or the other. Are we with Jesus or everybody else.Kellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10062849571258294422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2501996593127787714.post-28154857256027173452011-02-03T09:14:25.051-06:002011-02-03T09:14:25.051-06:00The old saying goes, You can't take it with yo...The old saying goes, <i>You can't take it with you when you die.</i> That's so true. Sure, all these things make 'life' seem better according to worldly standards, but they make no difference in eternal matters. I pray that I can keep my focus on what's above and not on keeping up with the world's standards. Thank you for this reminder.Debihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05915464515200570565noreply@blogger.com
