Most important

Lately, I've been thinking about what's important. Of course, Tim, my kids, my extended family, friends, my relationship is God...rank most high, but if I'm truly honest with myself, my things run a very close second. Life{in}grace writes a beautiful blog. Edie, the author, lost her home and everything inside to a fire last year. All that survived the fire was her family and not a scratch on them. They made it out just in time. Thank the Lord! That is most important, isn't it. Things don't matter, people do. A month or so ago, Holden told Fount, "You can't take the stuff with you to heaven." How right he is!

Yesterday, I opened up Kelly's Korner, a blog that I follow, to read that a dear friend of hers, whose blog I've also read, lost her husband Sunday night in a car accident. Just like that. The realness of it makes my heart ache. Makes me want to hold on tight to my family~ Tim...our precious children. Makes me want to move to a farm where we live off the land and never leave one another for a second. Then that becomes my thing. I find it difficult, making God my number one, instead of my family. How do I do it the right way? How do I live that out to my children? How do I make my relationship with God be the legacy I leave my children?

That's my food for thought :)

My quiet time, this morning, was titled, "What Kind of Example?" The verse was from 1 Timothy 4:12~ "You should be an example to the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity."
