This moment is what counts, you may not have another.

Today's reading is James 4:14. Someday, the only proof that I've existed will be my name on a tombstone. Someone may imagine what my life was like, probably guessing incorrectly. Or, no one will see my name. I'll be out of memory. What does that mean for me? In light of the readings this week, and what I already know, my relationship with Christ is the most important thing I could cultivate. It will be what lasts eternally.

Don't waste your time and energy on temporary gains.

Today's reading was Mt. 6:19-21.  To be honest, it sort of confused me. I understand not hoarding things for yourself, but this seems to be condoning hoarding spiritual gains for yourself. Maybe I'm overthinking. What are your thoughts?

Life more abundant comes from our relationship with God, not from possessions.

This week in church we are supposed to be giving thought to eternity. We were given a set of passages to look up, and then write one sentence about the lesson we learned. The passage I looked up today was Luke 12-13-21. I read it from the AMP and NAS. Share what lesson God showed you, if you like.
