If my house caught on fire there are a few things that I would take right away. I would grab my Macbook, Guitar, and Bible. But of course before I took those I would make sure that my brother got out of the room safely. Over all I wouldn't be devastated about losing all of my things in a fire, except for that fact that many of them have memorable value. But one of the big things I would need to keep in mind is that I have treasures stored in Heaven. My earthly belongs are temporary, but God is keeping and saving treasures in Heaven for me. If you get to attached to your belongings they will control you and will become first in your life. If you treasures are hear on Earth then your heart will be of the World, but if your treasures are in Heaven then your heart will be with God.
“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." Matthew 6:19-21
Great thinking, Roger! You are a smart guy! :)
