The Temporary Eternal

We’re back home, looking at the front lawn, wondering how to revive it, and being a rental, how much to put into a temporal place.

When you live in a temporary place it is natural to not want to invest time, money, or effort into that place.

I think that part of the reason for this is that we see no advantage for ourselves. We are afraid that we don’t benefit.

But must everything immediately benefit us?

It is that singleminded drive that causes poverty in all of our lives.

The poverty that springs from the phrase, “you are not worth my time!”

The poverty that comes from the greed of a few at the cost of many.

From the voices that say that the voices of those many don’t matter;

Because they intend to be counted with the voices of the few.

And they could, if only the many would stop taking from them?

Could it be, that we who are to give the gift of life eternally, have relegated our duty to death, and saved life for “me”?

Could we be treating our time on earth as rented?

We are going to put our best into this place; our passion, our time, and our money.

It is through the shared personal cost of people through the ages that I have the wealth to write this, and I have a duty to perpetuate life forward on through the ages to come.

We can make the life of others in this place better.

And I have faith that this work has and can go on.

This is eternity experienced.

It is poverty being crushed forever through Jesus’ way.

We can apply this in all things, and it starts with the transient and the temporary.

Who will join me?
