ON FRIDAY JANUARY 15TH. I BEGAN A SIX DAY SERIES ON ANGER

Once upon a time, in the year 1909 to be exact, a farmer and his wife bought a new car, all black and glistening with its shining newness. It sparkled like a piece of
polished black onyx.

As they drove it home from the dealers, the dusty road began to take its toll.

By the time they reached their front door, their jewel looked bedraggled, unloved and unkempt.

In dismay they looked at their new and treasured car and then in total agreement decided it must never be soiled like that again.

Exactly one week later, their brand new Ford, now washed and polished to its original sheen, resided in the sterile atmosphere of their pristine clean and now greatly enlarged front parlor. It was not the customary type of furniture, and the house had required major renovation and carpentry, but there it was, spic and span and safe.

For forty years, it resided there. For forty years, it never ventured out on the road that was, of course, sometimes dusty, sometimes muddy, always less than sociable. For forty years, it stayed free from any and all kind of accidents, and when the old couple died, it was sold, for $37.00.

We may shake our heads at the thought that they had spent the greater part of their lives admiring and protecting something that was worth so little.

Yet we are quite capable of doing the same thing. It often takes a tragedy, such as Katrina brought to the Gulf States several years ago (or more recently Haiti) for us to finally get around to admitting it.

Of course, we are devastated by such catastrophes, and rightly so, but in the midst of such of such destruction, if we are alive and those we love are alive, we still say again and again, “Things we can replace.”

Oh, it may not be a car in the front room, but we each have our own equivalent of front parlors where we store that which is not timeless and never will be.

The magic word in this morning’s scripture is seek. “Seek ye first the kingdom of God and things will be given to you as well.” Matthew 6:33
