We had been invited for dinner with friends who had a small house. Amidst the bustle of juggling dirty dishes with the dessert, our hostess said wistfully, “In my next house, I’m going to have a separate dining room”.
Her husband replied dryly without batting an eyelid, “In your next house, you’re going to have pearly gates and a golden street outside the front door!”
Amidst the laughter, it reminded me how often we forget that the best is yet to be. How often we yearn for something other than what we have, and forget the blessings that God has given each one of us. Good health, good friends and knowing the Lord are blessings beyond compare!
What does a bit of inconvenience matter in this life when there is so much more awaiting us.
The Bible says ….Be free from the love of money and be content with what you have, for God has said, “I will never leave you nor will I ever abandon you.” (Hebrews 13 :5)
