Good morning ladies,
The word of the day is "penurious.” I read a great book
some years ago about the rat race of life. Sometimes it seems that we are just
trying to keep up, keep our heads above the water. However, at the same time
that I read the book, I had been a Christian, and community leader for a number
of years. I realized that of course we need to be productive in society, but if
we do not have a relationship with God then it pretty much does not mean
anything.
“Do not lay up for
yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves
break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where
neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For
where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. ~Matt 6:19-21
My question is: where do you find your riches in life? One
of my mentors used to often say, and still does, that we must add value to
others each day if we want to make it worth anything. My prayer is that each of
us searches the depths of our souls and find what drives us. I made it a point
very early on to make sure to do my best at all times and, in every situation,
to put God and his plan first. That is not always easy. Because at the end of life, no matter how
many material possessions we have, it is all penurious without the love and
fellowship of God and his people.
Praying for you,
MO
