It is easy to become possessive of things that we think of as our own. “It’s mine” or “That’s mine” are all too familiar phrases. But is it really ours? Of course we say that we “own” things, but shouldn’t we remember who has given us life and all that we have in that life? God, our loving Father, has given us it all.
