It's just stuff

Our Daily Bread
I have had a lot of ups and downs in my life. While I am fortunate now to have my home with lots of cool stuff in it, I remember times when everything I owned fit into my old run down car!  I lived in a rented room, not an apartment, but a room.  I lived pay check to pay check.  I learned something important then -- It's just stuff...

After we learn that lesson, we can move on to the things that are really important: loving God and loving others.  I am not saying that Christians can't be successful and have stuff.  I am saying that those thing should never take higher priority in our lives that loving God and loving others! 

We can find our worth, not in what we have, but who we are in the Lord!

Lord, thank you for being our all.  Please help us cherish you more than "stuff".
