While reading my Bible the other day this verse caught my attention. 

While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.  II Corinthians 4:18

Now, bear with me.  I know this is nothing new and it gets mentioned fairly often.  I needed the reminder.

Temporal = Things which are seen = a clean house, a fancy table, stylish clothes, latest gadgets, beautiful decorations, etc.

Eternal = Things which are not seen = time with my kids, love, a good attitude, gratefulness, good character, etc.

How easy it is to worry about the temporal more than the eternal.
