"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
George Bailey gets a wonderful gift of seeing what he world would have been like without him in it. We live an "incarnational" faith-the belief that, like Jesus, our faith is not just an idea, but it gets lived out in our actions in the world. This week we integrate money and meaning by looking in at the courageous vision for our presence and impact in the world. This is the bedrock for how we "spend" our assets-time, energy, and money-so that we approach the life we have left with attentiveness and intentionality to making it a "wonder-full" life.
