THE SHOP

I was down in David's shop today trying to get the ice chest, which was way up high on the shelf. As I turned around, I was overcome with emotion, which was most unusual for me. All around the room were objects that represented David Lock! In fact, the entire room was filled with the things David loved best! It was covered! There were salt and fresh water fishing lures in abundance; hunting paraphernalia; fire ant bait; garage sale stuff; his small TV; fertilizer; tools; shoes; hats; and scout equipment galore. There is so much stuff in that shop, that I would never go back in there, if I didn't have to go to the freezer. Everywhere I turned I saw remembrances of David. A little was okay, but this was way too much, and it caused me to think it was way out of balance with all his stuff in there. God wants us to keep our lives in balance. He wants us to enjoy our lives, but not horde the things we enjoy.
God's word tells us not to store our treasures on earth, but to store up for ourselves treasures in Heaven.
I don't know about you, but after coming out of David's shop, I'm inclined to agree with Him!
