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 neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal, for where your treasurer is, there your heart will be also.
Matthew 6:19-21
What do you treasurer? We like getting a new car. Nothing attracts dents and scratches like a new car. The first dent or scratch can really set us off, especially if the one who did the damage is one of our kids.
Why is that? A car is an inanimate object, which has the purpose of transporting us from one place to another. Man made it and man can fix it. Twenty years from now, the car will be a heap of rust and we will not care that our kid dented it. Perhaps we should consider that in the here and now and cut the kids some slack.
Our children are a greater treasure than any car.
Treasure people not things.
