We place so much emphasis on 'stuff'; things that can break and shatter, mold our way of thinking, and yet we still cling to them.
In some weird way, I feel as though my brain is stuck in a 'same' mode. That everything will always be there, stay basically in the same condition, and that is that. What I fail to recognize and admit is that we are human and we first off like change, and secondly we make mistakes in everyday moments. But not only that, other people do or say things that alter our 'little world'.
In a split second, what we thought was a perfect state of being, is turned into a mode of chaos. This was shown this morning as my brother was in a car accident. Praise the Lord he nor the others were hurt, but there are now all sorts of other repercussions from that one moment. No longer is his car in working order, no longer can he get from place to place with ease, no longer can he say he has never been in an accident.
But what is truly amazing is that no matter what happens, no matter how big of an 'accident' we have in our lives, my God is big enough to handle it!! Sure things get messy, but those messes sometimes redirect our life courses and help us to realize what is truly important. So what is really important to you? Is it your car, the house, your hobby, the stuff?
"For where your treasure is, your heart will be also" (Luke 12:34)
