There are so many different paths to take in life. Different identities to presume. Different fronts used to hide the truth. I saw a middle-aged couple today at a restaurant. By their conversation it was obvious that they were well off. Any normal person would think that they had the perfect life. They spoke of their kids and how, as parents, they were exactly where they wanted to be (relationship wise) with their children. It sounded as if their worlds came straight from a T.V. series. But something was missing. I could just tell. They had everything...almost. Everything except for Jesus, the most important gift of all. I ask myself how people can be so happy if they don't have God & then the answer came. Really, under the makeup, brand-named clothes, & forced conversation, they weren't happy at all. It was a sad revelation. I never want to turn out like that. I'll stay close to my Creator who can eternally satisfy me instead of the world, whose satisfaction is only temporary.
Disclaimer: I don't usually eavesdrop. They were speaking especially loud.
