An Old Mercedes

March 31

It is a 1975 Mercedes 230 gas-operated four-door sedan, dark green. I bought this motorcar in Connecticut from the original owner when it was 19 years old. It has now been eight years, a move to Florida, two weddings and 35,000 miles. I know I’m not being a good steward of my God-given resources pouring more money into this old sedan. Am I becoming too attached to this car?

I sell it and buy a used American-made van.Better to focus on Godly things.

“Lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is there your heart will be also.” (Matthew 6:20-21)
