This past week has again brought into sharp focus the stupidity of setting out hearts on things here and now...
Last week, E & R were both away, so for the first time in 16 years, Sarah & I could have a few days away by ourselves. We found an excellent deal on a good hotel, and off we went. But very quickly Sarah developed the worst cold she's had for years, the weather was miserable, and when we did get out for a walk round Cheddar Gorge, Sarah slipped and bashed her back!
We still had a good time, and I'm not complaining at all, but it was just another reminder that we must not set our hearts on holidays, or luxury goods or anything else in this life. Instead, 'blessed are they who keep his statutes and seek him with all their heart' (Ps 119:2).
