Worthy or worthless?
As I am reading the verse about turning my eyes away from worthless things, I am reminded of the challenge we all face when we open our eyes in the morning. How many of the things that I have are worthy? It is nice to have "things" but are they "worthless" or "worthy". As I was downloading some childhood photos last month I was struck by my desire to skip over all the photos that were not of people. The photos of things and places were not very significant but the photo of my sister and I together made my heart swell with joy! The things I have will all pass away so please Lord help me to remember this today. You will preserve my life according to your word.

Interesting. . . I have been struggling with getting my house in order/decluttering. Even to the point of hiring a "professional home organizer"!
I have been contemplating as I'm sorting through piles of paper clutter/photos/memorabilia . . . what does this all mean? Why do I think I want to save all this STUFF? It means so much less to me than the actual relationships in my life but I think I might want to "look back" and be reminded of the events or save the memorabelia for a scrap book, etc. Why? Do they care? Shouldn't I be more concerned with working at healthy relationships, modeling Christ-like behavior to others, possibly helping lead others to Christ??!! All this STUFF will pass away at some point and simply won't matter. Lord, help me to focus more on You and others and what's important for a future spent FOR You and WITH You.
Liz,
This is a great idea!
