Taking stock

"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."

As I head to the mall today, as I think about moving today, as I worry about whether my choices will earn me or cost me nice things and comfort, I remember that a nice heart and a comforted countenance forbears all conditions and is greater than temporary satisfaction.

I think who we are is more our actions than our words, sure, but I also think that what is behind our actions and words counts more than both combined. Every little choice counts, and no big choice can break us if we have the will to make a change.

Just a thought, since these words ring so true to me and guide me in the little and the big.
