"And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of things which he possesseth."
Luke 12:15
This is a great thing to remember today. So often we evaluate our lives based on stuff... jobs, house, cars, wealth. And our lives are so much more than that that the stuff doesn't even really matter after we get past the survival stage. It certainly seems to matter, and we invest a lot of time into promotions and financial concerns. But if we start looking at the stuff and the money as the goal rather than the people and the relationships... the learning and growing and figuring out who we are in relation to God and the universe... then we are missing out on so much. Things that you couldn't buy with 9 lifetimes of money. Today, let's try to focus less on the stuff, and more about the why and the who of the whole thing. :)
