The Israelites gave Moses much grief along their journey, but when he died they mourned some 30 days for him. WOW!
We prize ‘possessions’ not relationships. We gather ‘things and gadgets’ not people. We seek external media input over good face-to-face conversations. It is wonderful to have some possessions in life, for they help to make it a bit more bearable. But it’s the people in our lives that make it full, and God Himself that makes it complete. These are the 2 greatest blessings one could have, but we seem bent on giving them very low priority. We could survive without the big screen TV, the fancy car/home, the latest model phone, or even without some now expensive grocery items, but without a relationship with God, and without relationships with family and friends life is pretty unbearable. And the deeper the relationship the richer we become. Today is a good day to re-connect with or strengthen an existing relationship or even build a new one. Remember, God’s kingdom will be filled with people, not products.
Until tomorrow…

“….then their eyes were opened and they recognized [Jesus], and he disappeared from their sight. They asked each other, ‘were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?’” – Luke 24:31-32
