THE MOTH AND RUST REALITY CONTINUED |
||
|
There is no greater way to prove the "moth and rust" theory to yourself than to get out an old photo album and look at things you used to treasure. When we packed for our move to the cabin, I found an old photo album from when Spike and I were dating and first married. There I was in one picture, vain as a peacock, in my new gray and white tattersall wool dress with the little pillbox hat to match. I thought I was pretty snazzy in that outfit! But where is is today? The moths have long since digested its remains. In another photo from that same album, Spike and I were standing in front of his beautiful, new, red Chevy Corvair. We were absolutely stuck-up about that car when we first bought it, and yet today its remnants are probably at the bottom of some scrap metal heap. Considering the fate of that pillbox hat and that Chevy Corvair adds alot of credence to Jesus' suggestion that we're much better off sharing the earthly stuff that God has loaned us and storing up heavenly treasures instead-the kind that "moth teeth" and junkyards can't get hold of. "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also". Devotional By: Claire Cloninger Taken from the Women's Devotional NIV Bible But store up for yourselves treasures in
Heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not
break in and steal. I have heard it said that "He who dies with the most toys wins" but I know that we must share and be willing to extend ourselves and the things God has given us beyond what we think we are capable of. We feel so blessed that God has given us the opportunity to share Him with each of you. [Contact
