Being a slave to material wealth is a hindrance for those who want to enter the kingdom of heaven! Regards my friend

Having this dark cloud over us puts everything into perspective, who's really bothered if you have the latest computer or phone. Hopefully many will reflect on the importance of family and interaction with the rest of mankind. Stay safe. Tom

Yes, I used to be such a shopper believing I needed material things- clothes, new furniture but now I am enjoying the simple things in life- my garden- baking, reading and of course praying, Hugs xxx

I think we are getting wiser these last few weeks, realizing that material things are not nearly as important as our soul, our family, our faith, and God. Beautiful Demetrios. God bless you my friend.
