There's a lesson in that somewhere.
I recall the parable of the ice skates.
One Christmas, two brothers received a pair of ice skates for each. They were beautiful skates, with the design and colors, in the most sought-after style of the day. The older brother was the sort who took great care of his possessions and rarely played with the skates, while the younger considered his belongings as things to be
used. By Spring, when it was time to put away the Winter toys, the older brother's ice skates still looked brand new, while the younger's were all scuffed up from daily hockey games with his friends.
Come the next Winter, the boys brought out their skates to get them ready for the season. To his extreme disappointment, the elder discovered his didn't fit! He'd outgrown them! But it wasn't a total waste. The younger brother's feet had grown and he could wear the new-looking ice skates!
The younger brother had new skates for two seasons, while the elder only had skates for one Winter, and didn't use them.
The moral?
Never lose sight of the fact that your possessions belong to you, it's not the other way around.The parable doesn't fit perfectly, but one can see the futility of having things that one doesn't
use. One runs the risk of not having them when one really wants them.
