When a girl sells old jewelry that now holds little sentimental value for her (despite the fact that it once meant a great deal)...
When she happily decides to use the money for the last payment on an appliance...
She once again realizes how much her priorities have changed. (Or is it really how much God has changed her priorities?)
For while she knows there's nothing wrong with enjoying beautiful things like jewelry, she realizes that holding on to things that don't mean much causes life to mean less in the long run. As days and homes are clogged with stuff, the things that are true priorities-- like husbands, children, friendships, and a growing relationship with God-- often get buried in the energy-zapping, never-ending, maintenance-demanding piles.
Grace upon grace upon grace, leading us along, giving us new minds and hearts...
...and priorities.
