When my kids were little, we all watched Sesame Street together. Seasame Street taught a lot of useful things and as far as I know, they still must be on TV. So, when I saw this picture, it brought back a lot of memories. The phrase "Why not, Daddy...PPPLLLEEEEESSSEEE? keeps coming to my mind, although I am not exactly sure why. The picture puts the Cookie Monster in an awful situation, because how can he EVER DELETE COOKIES?????? Cookies are the most important thing in "His" life (he was a male, right??). And I bet he had one huge stash of cookies..... Why? Because he loved them. Question: What kind of stash do you have??? Before you answer too quickly, read these few verses from the book of Matthew...
WEB: Matthew Chapter 6
[19] “Don’t lay up treasures for yourselves on the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal; [20] but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consume, and where thieves don’t break through and steal; [21] for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
What really matters to you? What do you think about every day? Is something specific on your mind at least fifteen times a day, every day? Guess what... that is what you really love. That is what you can't get enough of. That is your treasure!!! Jesus says not to lay up treasures on Earth, which by implication means to lay them up in HEAVEN. If your heart yearns to be in heaven and you do everything you can to get there, then your reward will be there too. I wonder... will there be cookies there? I guess the next time I do my regular computer maintenance, I will have to be extra careful not to delete my COOKIES!!!!
