Good reminder Matt. The impending pressures of all that is needed and “expected” (two different things) within American culture for a baby and family can be weighty. House, diapers, food, car seat, and the list just goes on and on. It seems like having a family and living to seek “eternal treasures” is so much more complicated than when you are single or even married without children. If my tummy goes hungry thats fine, but what happens when its my little baby’s hunger? I am fine taking cold showers. But how do you make the decision to continue to live like you do when it effects more than just you but your family and your children? How do you explain to your children “living for eternal treasures” and the why of what you do? I think it is one of the greatest gifts that can be given to a child. That he/she lives within the context of having every comfort and ease at his/her finger tips but instead chooses and recognizes willfully the richness of knowing Christ and seeking first His kingdom. To me it seems like a miracle preformed by the holy spirit and word of God in the human heart that must be said yes to daily and some days by the second. This is my hope that one day the twinkling treasures will be swallowed up with the bright morning star who will come and be the light of the city, but until that day I need grace to stay in the narrow way by setting my gaze on Him.

Colin, thanks for the reply! I took your advice and added some “liking” options. Blessings to you.

Your blog needs a like button! So good… I find myself treasuring people’s opinion of me or my own opinion of myself … I worry about doing well in the eyes of everyone but the one who sees all things perfectly… Remembering that he knows me and leads me for his name sake (not for my reputation but never the less for my good) has brought me comfort and courage to seek him first and brought me out of my navel gazing worry fest.
