what is that old saying? a person shouldn't be so heavenly minded, that he is of no earthly good ...
i agree with that ... but i also think that a person shouldn't be fretting about earthly things 24/7, without giving thought to our heavenly destination ... this earthly pilgrimage will one day come to an end ...
i confess, i have been down this past week and i'm also guilty of fretting ... with our house up for sale and then the early winter storm that blew threw - well my spirits went into a nose dive ...
i love the Fall, yet the Fall is the one season that can totally depress me ... i don't like the dark dampness, the thought of a cold winter looming just around the corner or the elevated pain that leo is in ... trying to stay positive in the Fall has been a life long battle ... this past week has been a struggle ...
then i was gently reminded by Elizabeth's comment, that we will never be totally comfortable here on earth, because after all, heaven is our destination ...
my insides are still frowning, but i will try to set my mind on things above, things that are eternal ... rather than things that are here below, where moth and rust destroy ...
"But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness ..." Matthew 6:33a
"For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also ..." Matthew 6:21
