So what does the Christ-honoring, non-materialistic family look like? They invest primarily in the things that will leave this world with them and as a team they are all on this same pursuit. They experience freedom and more time for the things most important because they have limited resources that they own in order not to be owned by them. They experience constant joy because the only source of joy they expect is from the Lord. They do not need to have stuff to impress others because the only person they seek to please is the Lord. They have no compelling love for the shadows of the world because their hearts see the true Substance, the beauty of God’s marvelous light. They have their priorities right: things are to be used and people are to be loved. They are content people following Christ and therefore have a great family because their mutual trust is not in material things which will let us down, but in the One who always delivers.

INSTRUCTIONS

My kids were home from school Monday because of the Martin Luther King
holiday, so we tried something new for breakfast. It was a hit!
This recipe comes from Taste of Home magazine, December 97/January 98
issue, and was submitted to it by Lorna Greene of Harrington, Maine.
In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients. In another bowl, mash bananas;
add oil and vanilla. Mix well. Stir into the dry ingredients just until
moistened. Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups half full. Bake at 375
for 18-22 minutes or until muffins test done. Cool for 10 minutes; remove
from pan to a wire rack to cool completely.
Yield: 1 dozen
(We ate them hot from the pan. I had two, and my two children - ages 8 and
9 - ate the rest!)
