How easy it is to focus on the material and on having all we want, not
just what we need. The Gospel story of the rich man and Lazarus
reminds me that what is most important is how we treat each other and humankind
overall – not the material items we accrue. It is also important for me to work to keep my focus
on the spirit in us all and the commonalities of the human species, for upon
death what are we but our spirit, our soul, our energy that is released back
into the universe in an alternate form. The riches are then
meaningless – it is our actions and the energy we put into the universe during
our time on this earth that will follow us after death and leave its mark on
the world when our body is gone. This focus, care, and reverence to the spirit
over the body, to the Lord over human wants – that is what will feed us
eternally and wholly.
