Reflection of the week

Posted in Faith

Junk mail and advertising of all kinds tempts me to purchase more desirable “stuff” on sale. My conscience nudges me with a question: “Do I really need it? WilI I be any happier if I have it in my barn/wardrobe?”

As he tenderly reassured his disciples about the unknown future, Jesus said: “Where your treasure is, there your heart is also.” (Luke 12:32)

I count the treasures of my heart. Family. Faithful friends. The all-embracing, forgiving love of God who meets all of my needs.

Prayer

Lord, above all things, I treasure your presence in my heart and in my life, and in the knowledge of your grace in forgiving me. Amen.
