What’s Important

Sometimes a significant emotional event can make you realize what’s really important.

It takes a significant emotional event to alter our thinking, and one of those events occurred this weekend. Early Sunday morning, I was awakened by a call from a neighbor informing me of a fire in the corner house. My first thought was that it was the corner house between my neighbor who called and me. When I ran to the window, I discovered that it was the house across the street.

As I ran outside to witness one of the most horrific sights I have ever seen, I could only ask God to ensure that everyone got out of the house safely, and luckily they all did. In what seemed a lifetime, but in reality was roughly an hour, that family lost everything – all their material possessions, that is.

As I watched the dozens of emergency personnel do an incredible job of containing and extinguishing the fire, I thought about the possibility that this could have been me or another neighbor. It made me think about what is important – that it is more important to make sure I tell my husband every day how much I love him. That it is more important to remember my God is greater than anything or anyone that can come against me. That it is more important to be a model of love despite annoying co-workers. That it is more important to exist in an attitude of gratitude for all that I have and not complain about things I do not have. That it is more important to be salt and light in times of uncertainty. That it is more important to share all I can with those who have less.

This is a very uncertain time in our economy and country, but if we really take time to ponder on what is important, we will always be reminded that it is our relationships and not our possessions that are the most significant. The most important relationship of all is the one we have with our Heavenly Father. He is what is important.

“We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair, persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed.” 2 Corinthians 4: 8,9

Prayer:

Thank you, Heavenly Father, for always reminding us of what is important. Amen.
