My heart, it wanders too much!

I use to think about Heaven a lot … and how I couldn’t wait to get there … and when it would be my day to get to that place. My mind use to be focused on heavenly goals, I use to want to be a better Christian, and loving others use to be a lot easier than it is now. I wanted to rid myself of all things that chained me to this world and this life.

Then I fell in love, got married, bought a house, found a job I love with wonderful friends … my brother and sister-in-law gave me the joy of 2 nephews and a niece … I bought a car, purchased a new camera, and traveled to places near and far. I got swallowed up in the hindrances of daily living that I forgot my purpose for living was not for worldly wants or needs, but for something far beyond the reaches of what my mind could ever comprehend. I sought love and approval from those around me and from myself, but I forgot to seek what is pleasing to the Heavenly Father.

But in an instance, I could lose everything and realize too late that the very thing I should have desired most in life was the last thing placed in my heart.
