Now that means two things.. One is that I probably watch too much trashy tv, because that's when those commercials are most frequently aired, and the second is that I could certainly learn a thing or two from that.
Life is passing me by.
I mostly spent today by watching Caillou and acting petty to prove a point, did my chores, took a shower, started but didn't finish today's devotional, haven't just sat down and talked with God for a while in a day or two, but I ate ice cream, wasted time by starring at a screen and talked with a couple of my siblings. What is the meaning in that? What am I accomplishing or contributing by doing what I'm doing? Where am I going?
Matthew 6:19-21 says: 19 “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."
So if my heart is set on earthly stuff, if that's where I place my time and my life and if that's where I store my treasures, then isn't that where I'm going? Why don't I run toward more? Toward God, toward life and love and joy? Why don't I turn away from the dead-ends, away from selfishness and on to Jesus? Why don't I accept the grace with complete abandonment to self and let God change anything He wants?
What am I waiting for?
