Our earthly possesions

Ex-missionettes gals, do you all remember this veri old song we used to sing, "The things that I love and hold dear to my heart, are juz borrowed, they're not mine at all..."
This song became veri meaningful to me again yesterday. I had dinner with grace ong at the airport to celebrate my bday. She gave me some flowers, a card with a pair of lovely earrings in it. It's only when I sat on the bus departing from the basement that I discovered tat I've misplaced it!!!! Ah!!!! horrors of horrors!!! How could I? I was so depressed. I alighted half way and went back to hunt for it, but to no avail. So saddie rite? I haven even read the card yet!!

As the bus moved on, my heart began to calm down. Then this truth dawn upon me. Are these things really so impt to me tat i'll die without it? I've clinged on to all these possessions as if it's my own. Yet, the Bible tells us tat earthly treasures grow mould, rust and decay... invest only in the kingdom stuff.

Yes. I still mourn for my lot gift n card. Yes. I still cannot believe I'm so forgetful n scatterbrain n silly. But, I can remind myself that I oredi possess treasures stored up in heaven, where it'll nvr be lost or taken away from me. It's in safe-keeping in my Father's hands now.
