I was listening to an audiobook today that talked about village elders and the reason people went to them for advice was because they had been around a while. Since they had been around so long they knew what was lasting and what was a "fad."
For instance: faith in Jesus and the Church is lasting, whereas faith in money or possessions isn't. We may struggle with it sometimes but we need to put our faith in something that lasts. Something that our children can have faith in. Something that our grandchildren can have faith in. Fads come and go but Jesus is lasting. So we should focus on the important things, the big things, the things that matter.
grace & peace
