Matthew 5:19-24

Jesus said to his disciples: ‘Do not store up treasures for yourselves on earth, where moths and woodworms destroy them and thieves can break in and steal. But store up treasures for yourselves in heaven, where neither moth nor woodworms destroy them and thieves cannot break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

Tell me, without blinking an eye say it. What are your top 3 priorities? Most of us will say, Family, Faith, Friends. Then where does the bulk of your time go?

Listen, I am not naive at all. I know that you have to work to make a living and that takes the bulk of our times. Trust me, having two jobs the past 15 years has taught me that life is not black and white. This reading however asks of us to reflect on how much we invest in the things of heaven. And by the way, heaven is: Family, faith, friends no matter the fights and disagreements.

Love you
