Houses are beautiful,
but they deteriorate.
Clothes are nice,
until they wear out.
Even the fanciest cars,
eventually break down.
Shoes are useful,
until the soles are gone.
There is nothing wrong,
with having nice things.
Yet, we must remember,
that they are not everything.
When you love your possessions,
they become to hard to manage.
Christ is everything.
Christ is everlasting.

- Comment from author about the poem: There is nothing wrong with having nice things. Some people have the misconception that the only way to have Christ, is to give up everything you have, when in actuality, giving everything you have away can sometimes be a sin. Still, we must always put God first, and remember that material things will never last forever. We must thank God for the gifts and blessings he has given us. Give thanks unto the Lord. Persistence is key

GOOD EVENING DION : Its Wednesday morning here ! The GOOD BOOK says "A Persons Life does not consist of the THINGS they have : Their relationship with GOD in more important ! Godliness with Contentment is Great Gain ! I am a LADY so I like nice clothes : good complexion and neat Hair. So as a committed Christian my Philosophy is always to look neat & cool and blend in with the COMMUNITY Im in ! I buy functional clothes and accessories rather than DESIGNER and at a fraction of the Cost. I support local Charities and Christian Medical Work in developing Countries. I never get into debt etc ! Being neat & tidy & well groomed is an essential part of my Christian Witness ! Thanks for raising this issue !
Blessings & Love in the SPIRIT
Yours ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡
