STOP AND THINK – The best things in life aren’t things. (Art Buchwald, 20th century American humorist)

Is this just merely simplistic or is it deeply profound? Looking around; it appears that accumulating “things” really is most important to many of us. Someone has said, “We don’t need more than one of everything.” Really? Do we need even one of everything? There is a great need—not for things—but for good stewardship of all we have been given.

Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth . . .but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. (Matthew 6:19-20)
