There is a sickness that makes it very difficult to give thanks - a sense of always needing more, or never believing you have enough. It prevents us from celebrating what we've already been given. This week in our series on the Parables, Jesus gives us a story about a man who is putting his confidence in his possessions, followed directly by a lot of teaching about worry. Those two things are deeply interrelated. Putting our confidence in our 'stuff' is a very fragile security that will inevitably invite worry; and it is virtually impossible to be thankful when your are constantly worried. Let's talk about how "What You Treasure" can become the sickness that prevents thankfulness or a gift that cultivates a life of gratitude (Luke 12:13-34)
