J103 - Strip it all away!

Sometimes I think we get so caught up in our chase for "stuff" that we forget about what blessings are all around us. If you've ever been through a financial crunch, or belt-tightening (that's all of us in 2009 right?) then you can learn very quickly what really matters in your life. Are you a "stuff" chaser? Stop! Many lives have been wasted chasing "stuff". Look around you. If you've got a family that loves you, a place to live, food to eat and transportation...you're more blessed than most of the world! I just want to encourage you to strip it all away. Stop the chase long enough to look around and count your blessings. I bet you'll be surprised what you'll find!
