What Matters Most
“Build nothing that will not last,” some Presbyterians in Illinois wrote in their church guidelines in 1855.
Their words shame too much of the way I “fritter and waste the hours, in an offhand way” as a Pink Floyd song puts it.
“Majoring in minors” is a phrase my dad would use to describe spending too much time and energy on things of little consequence.
“Build nothing that will not last” gives me a renewed perspective on doing what matters most.
I need that today.
You too?

With this caveat: We don’t always know what matters until later, sometimes a whole lot later. Surprising how many times we find out something that was no big deal to us mattered so very much to someone else.

Wow! 1855 Illinois Presbyterians, Pink Floyd, and your dad in under 100 words. What God wants of us is what matters most. What matters most may not be what God wants of us. Not always easy to discern.
