Very simple, yet very hard

Colossians 3:2 “Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.” God expects us to enjoy our life on this earth and live a life dedicated to Him as we use our talents serving Him and our fellow man.  But, our minds are always looking forward to a glorious future living with Him in Heaven.  If we live only for earthly pleasure and gain, we will live a very disappointing life.  We will leave this earth saying the well known words—is that all there is?  If we live thanking our God for all our blessings we will leave this earth saying the well known words—praise be to God, Heaven is my home.
