seeing differently - perspectives and priorities

"...earth, if chosen instead of heaven, will turn out to have been, all along, only a region in hell: and earth, if put second to Heaven, to have been from the beginning a part of Heaven itself." ("The Business of Heaven" by C.S. Lewis)

What is secular and what is godly? It may not depend on what we have or want but how we view and value it. Our choices themselves may determine the true worth of something in heavenly terms. Let us choose wisely...

19"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. - Matthew 6:18-20
