Blue Jeep

While out and about today Kalee saw a lady get into a Hummer (H2) and blurted, loud enough for her to hear, "Look at that blue Jeep Dad!". Couldn't help it. I chuckled under my breath. Then I thought about how people are materialistic....in one way or another.

Most people will agree that priorities change when you become a parent. Before kids I'd like a pair of Uggs...but now that I'm a Mom I'd like to own a pair of WUggs (Wal-Mart wanna be-Uggs). Or have a jewelry box full of ear-rings so I look like a lady with short hair instead of....well, we won't go there. I'd love to own all the cool electronic toys, like an Ipod....shop QVC daily, or flaunt a name brand wardrobe.

But then I think...and I think...

None of those worldly possessions are going to heaven with me.

And I think some more...

...just to realize that I'm so glad! I'd rather invest in spreading the word of God, educating my children to do the same, and make memories with my family.
