I have a loving husband and a loving family and I get the opportunity EVERY day to be the hands and feet of Jesus to those around me....no matter where I am.

So weird this story reminded me when I was growing up I had the most irrational fear of our house burning down and at that time all I cared about was getting our dog out.

A friend...This reminds me of a recent situation. A friend's mom passed away a few weeks ago. She has an older sister that she never talks about because that sister severed the ties. The thing is, NO ONE knows *why*. If she's asked, she can't recall why. So, after the funeral, my friend is helping her father go through stuff. Her dad wants to invite sister over for the opportunity to take what she'd like (he's REALLY trying to mend the fence, but it just isn't working). When they were there he tried to find out, again, what went wrong. Can they fix it and move on. The granddaughters blew up at him and they stormed out--stuff in hand.<br /><br />Your sentence, "...Because in the end, people matter because they matter to God.... not stuff....stuff doesn't matter one bit to God" has been exactly what my friend's father has been trying to do. He is rock solid in his faith with God (he and his wife were cornerstones in their church), and this is what he lives by. Forget the "stuff" that belonged to his wife. He really just wanted to to have his daughter and grandchildren around him again. But sadly? They're too focused on the 'stuff'--material stuff, emotional stuff, etc. <br /><br />Good message today, friend!
