The winter air has turned many of us indoors and we wish for summer. I myself was sick for the last two weeks and was nice and warm by my fireplace. Unfortunately, this gas starter fireplace loves wood like an insane termite and we had to get wood several times. Our forefathers' shock at how easy it is to make a fire would amuse me. They had to keep the fire alive while we just have to put wood in for the hungry flames to feed on. This fireplace has a glass door which is always falling off at any possible second. This shows me that even though my fire place is wonderful it will break, because it is a thing and doesn’t hold true worth.
The people in my life are the ones that truly deserve my attention and not my earthy things like my fire. The way I conduct myself with these people is important not only to me, but also to God. Mrs. Totheroh has been a friend of my mom’s for a long time and I know her as a second mother. She truly puts people before things. She had a flip phone for a very long time and cared more about what people had to say than what the phone looked like. That shows just how devoted she is to everyone. She didn’t care about having the most incredible phone or being able to do wonderful things on it. This example shows me that I shouldn’t care about what the world thinks of me or what possessions I own, but only what God thinks of me.
