wanting

i find myself wanting....

a new car

  a pretty yard with flowers and paths 

cool toys for my kids

new shoes

hardwood floors

a back deck

and the list goes on

stuff

stuff

stuff

but i read

Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said,

   “Never will I leave you;
   never will I forsake you.”

Hebrews 13:5

and i pray please forgive me

and yet the world sings....billboards, tv, radio, friends, family...buy this, YOU need this, how have you lived without this...

so I cling to Luke's words

Then he said to them, “Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; a man’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.”

Luke 12:15
