This week has been extra crazy for us and NOT in a good way! We returned home from a great weekend at Lake Ouachita (post on that later) on Monday evening and found that there had been a water leak at the house. In fact, just as Alex was finished opening his birthday presents, we discovered the problem...as you can imagine, it was not a good end to his birthday! After three days, the plumbers finally finished and the clean up was complete. The house still needs lots of repairs, mainly new wood floor in the den and hallway, but we're not going to get started on them until after our California trip. Throughout this week, I've been reflecting on a verse that came to me as it applies to our situation.
"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy; but store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." Matthew 6:19-21
I'm thankful to remember that the promises of heaven are true and that ultimate fulfillment will only be found in Christ and not in how pleasant, comfortable, or easy life is.
