Scripture: Luke 12:15
And Jesus said to them, “Take care! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of possessions.”
Thought for the Day: The movie, “Veggietale: Madame Blueberry,” is a story of a distraught blueberry who is not content with what she has. She has pictures on her wall of all her neighbor’s stuff that she covets. One day, a new megastore called Stuff-Mart moves in across the street. It glitters like a beacon of hope in her life. Some representatives of the store come by to confirm her suspicion that her present stuff is not good enough. They sing to her their corporate song, “Happiness waits at the Stuff-Mart. All you need is lots more stuff.” There are times when fiction is very funny because it is so close to the truth.
Prayer: Let me be defined by the vastness of your grace, O Lord, and not by the vast amount of stuff that I collect. Amen.
See you in worship this morning for World Communion Sunday…don’t forget to bring your bread and drink boxes for NAM.
