Here is the new verse I've chosesn to focus on during the next two weeks: 

"Watch out!  Be on your guard agasint all kinds of greed;  a man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions."  Luke 12:15

Seeing all the pictures lately of all the devastation around the United States has been a reminder that possessions don't matter.  This is a value we try to instill in our son too.  I can see in him that sometimes it's hard for him to be generous when it's time to go through and get rid of stuff.  Some things it's easier to cling to than get rid of.

During our move we got rid of a lot of stuff.  It felt great to take all those boxes out of the house and not stuff the items somewhere in our new house.  But I look around and there is always something more.  I ask myself do I really need this?  Could someone else use this more than I do? 

I think this verse is a great reminder that we do need to be on guard against letting greed take root in our hearts. 

Have a day of blessings!
