Home is where the heart is

There are so many different perspectives and varying opinions on the real definition of what it means to be successful.

Sometimes the world evaluates success by the number of dollars made or the impact on society or the great discoveries realized or perhaps the titles or educational rank achieved.

I'm not saying those things aren't important or good, but it can be discouraging if you base your success and value on those accomplishments alone, especially when outside factors limit your ability to achieve them.

Getting little notes from my children, who are upright, generous, and kind. Going out to lunch with family or having a confidential, trusted talk when needed. Or perhaps, a compassionate, faithful, loving wife. To me...successful or not...that's real wealth.

 19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
 20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
 21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

  Matt 6:19, 20. 21

How do you measure success?
