We are only here on a journey

Today in Living Faith Fr. James McKarns spoke about how we are a "pilgrim people." We are put on this earth for only a little while and during the journey we never quite feel at home because we aren't. This was never meant to be our permanent resting place - We come from God and are meant to return to God.

I'm sure you have seen the bumper sticker "Whoever dies with the most toys wins!" Of course, such a statement is absurd. It is not like you can take it with you. Yet we spend so much time worrying about our possessions. When you are going on a trip, it is best to pack lightly. So it is with life. Pack lightly, live simply, and enjoy the journey back to our creator in heaven.
