stuff
recently i was humming . . .
recently i was humming . . .
'give thanks with a grateful heart,
give thanks to the Holy One,
give thanks because He's given Jesus Christ, His Son.
and now let the weak say i am strong,
let the poor say i am rich,
because of what the Lord has done for me.
give thanks'
and i also read this week a post called treasures that made me think. its so easy to focus on the wrong thing. the wrong stuff.
i still don't know when i will get my stuff from england. apparently its cleared customs but that's about all i know. i've basically been living out of two suitcases for an entire year. i am fed up. i want my things. and i am longing.
longing for a home, longing for my stuff, longing for all the wrong things. focusing on the wrong stuff. the wrong treasure.
and it is the season of giving thanks. i should be thanking Christ for all He's done, for how He has provided. He has given strength when i've felt week. He has supplied even when I doubt. and most of all He has given all to prepare a place for me and a treasure that moth and rust cannot destroy.
my stuff, while seemingly important will rust, and fade, and break and eventually be worthless. and i am so thankful for the reminder that it is not my treasure or my security. i have much greater one :)
