A Material World

After about four days I recovered my missing tool box.
A week ago I bought a new rolling tool box at Home Depot that would make Bob the Builder proud.  The day I bought it I spent all night arranging my tools inside of it and making it "pretty" (kinda like how you sit in your new car all night and play with the gadgets).  It's one of those tool boxes that open on top and sideways-kinda like a transformer.
So I took this toolbox to our music room in church and left it there for two days.  Your probably thinking -"that's where the problem began".  You're right.
Well there happened to be some rearranging of the music room and someone thought they would relocate my tool box to their house.
Fortunately, the surveillance system recorded the box-napping and I was able recover it.

Before I knew the security system was working, I  had given up on looking for it.  I was actually ready to go and get another tool box with new tools.
It's not that I like buying new tools (or can easily afford to), I just maintain an attitude of "easy come-easy go".  I try not to get too attached to material things.

I believe the faster you let materials things go, the faster you get them back.  You may not always get back exactly what you lost but at least you don't add to your loss by wasting time.  I've been blessed with many toys in life but there is no other more prized possesion than life itself.  So go enjoy yours!

Still fixing things,

Jeff
The one that almost got away!

  1. Hi, Jeff,
    Great blog! I found it via Helen's.
    Keep blogging. I will try to be a member if I can figure out how. Do you do Google Analytics?
    Still trying to figure out how for mine.
