Moment for Meditation - December 19, 2015 What Makes You Feel Like Keeping Stuff Like That? We talk big game when it comes to holding on to our faults as if they are our prize possessions. We want everyone to look beyond them to see what we need and then add to our collection. How can we expect humans to look past our stuff? Most of us humans will look at your stuff and either get repelled by or drawn into it. Truth is, stuff we carry around is the very stuff that keeps others from seeing us. Picture if you will, Pack Rat driving along the highway to heaven. He is riding in his brand new whatever it is. The passenger seat is full of his stuff, the back seat is loaded with stuff, and the prospects of putting anything in the trunk and nonexistent. He comes upon you, walking along the road. You are carrying your stuff in a backpack and two newly purchased cross body bags because the regular bags kept falling off your shoulders. In anticipation of collecting more stuff, you are considering the purchase of one of those roller cases with the 360 degree wheels so it will easily go where you are going. Pack Rat slows down and strikes up a conversation with you. Eventually he stops and you converse over the stuff between the two of you. Soon, he says, why dont you ride a ways with me. We shouldnt stand still too long on this road you know. While you and Pack Rat are surveying the situation as to where your stuff will go and what each of you will let go of, you notice the cargo bin on top of Pack Rats ride. Its full too, he says. Youre supposed to be looking past all of that so you can see my need, he says. I will leave it to you to solve this dilemma. It would be nice to hear from you. I love to pray but even I cant think of a prayer that would ask God to let you keep your stuff. I am, however, thankful that His wisdom ALWAYS prevails.
