Count to Four

Count to four.


Anytime I go somewhere I count to four.  Wallet, phone, Watch, keys.  1234 and I make sure that I have everything -wallet watch phone keys.

One time I was going somewhere with a friend and they saw me do this and they made fun of me. They said I sounded like the old song, head, shoulders, knees, and toes.

So I was checking in my rental car at the Baltimore airport last week.  And as I was walking toward the shuttle bus,  I counted to four and I realized that I couldn’t see my watch.  I thought I felt it on my wrist, but I wasn’t sure.  Did I leave it at the hotel?  It wouldn’t be the first time.  And I thought to myself "well it’s too late now if you’ve left it behind it’s lost to you and a blessing to whoever finds it."

Sometimes we get too attached to our possessions.  Turns out I did have the watch on my arm, but I still think we get too attached to things. May we all learn to count people as more important than things.


It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
