new job
so on friday, i went to an installation of some draperies at one of our client’s homes.oh my goodness, it was the biggest house i have ever been in (that someone actually lives in!). huge ceilings with gold gilding, fancy molding like i’ve never seen before, a big sweeping staircase, hundreds of feet of silk draperies, big, fat columns, marble flooring, and more. i think the place was about 12,000 square feet (yes, i really did say twelve thousand). crazy crazy.
in church, we have been talking about money and sacrificing and giving ourselves away to serve and glorify God…it makes walking into a place like that difficult. how could someone spend so much money on stuff that is not really needed? they worry so much about showing off; it’s all about the appearance of wealth and excess.
i am so blessed. i am so thankful that god continually opens my eyes to his glory…and how all of my money, time, talent and life is His. i hope i can remember to daily live with that mindset.
