Moving makes one tired.  That kind of goes without saying right?  All the stuff you accumulate over the years, stuff you forgot you had.  Items that you knew you got a Christmas from someone.  It had to be someone important since you still have it. 

 

When one moves, they often clean and dispose.  Items that are broken.  Items that are worn out or torn.  Trash.   What good are they now?

 

There is something that is often overlooked when moving or cleaning out.  That something is importance.  One receives an item or gift from a loved one.  After time, the importance of that gift or item is forgotten.  Soon it is disposed.  It is an often occurrence in our society today.

 

It is true in our lives.  We are given the gift of forgiveness, compassion, or love.  It is cherished.  Yet, after a while the importance of that gift is forgotten, then disposed. 

 

Paul wrote that we should dwell on the gifts that we have been given from God and not the “junk” of the world.  By dwelling on what we have been given from God, we will always remember that His gifts are life changing and never to be replaced.
