What in life is most important?

Is it stuff or is it people?

Why is it that for most people the thing that is most treasured is not the right thing?

People treasure material things and that is all that they want. They want money, power, so many friends, and so much stuff. People are selfish and just want stuff but what is really important to people?

Should it really be all that? Should it be stuff, money, power etc.? Or should it be people, your family, love, laughter, and gratefulness?

The things in life that we need to start being thankful for are the things that we take for granted. At some point in your life you won’t have money, you will be powerless and you won’t have that much stuff; however, if you lean into your family, your love and you are thankful to God that you have the ability to live another day then everything won’t seem that bad.

So, on this week of Thanksgiving when you go home from school or you’re with your family again make sure that you actually think about it this time.

Think about how much they mean to you, think about how much the love and joy that you get from them means and remember that that gift is so much greater than anything you could be given.

Think about the laughter that you get when you’re with your family. So, this year on thanksgiving hug your mom a little tighter, say thank you to your dad for all that he has done and is doing for you, think of how awful life would be without your siblings and remember how lucky you are to have them, hug them a little tighter and just remember that life is not something that is guaranteed. It's fragile and can break at any moment so make sure that the people you love know that you love them, that you laugh like there is no tomorrow and that you thank God for giving you the people in your life that mean the most to you.

I hope you and your family have a very Happy Thanksgiving.

Safe travels and create sweet memories this week.
