Possessions Are Just Things

So many times when we buy new things, This exciting feeling over takes us in, but it doesn't really last long, I don't know if that happens to you, but it happens to me, Possessing things can't bring us happiness all the time, you see Material things are only to be used,they're never meant to be loved, All things have a purpose after all, and that's to supply us with a need, We have them only for a reason, and that's to serve us,we should never worship them, Because they're not 'God' and our Almighty God takes over this lead Things are not really 'who we are',our heart,mind,body,soul and spirit, they all have different needs too, So forget how many houses,cars or possessions you own, What comes down in the end, are your right aptitude and your good heart, These are the 'things' that one day in your life and head will be crown, So when you buy new things, don't make them your 'God' you know, Enjoy them all!But always put God and people first,just love them a lot here and now!

Amen my friend, nothing should come before God, even my daughter says it and she is only 12 and has learning difficulties but she will say to any one trust no one but God and if you ask who is your best friend she wont be like other kids and say mum or dad or a childs name at school she says God every time, she holds on to Gods word and carves them in her little heart even though she can harly read or write she knows in her heart she loves God he loves her thats it, God bless you from diane
