. . . is another man's trash.A Super Bowl ring may never be considered "trash," but in comparison to that which God has in store for us it is. But for the vast majority of us non-Super Bowl winners, we never have to make that choice to sacrifice a Super Bowl ring in order to benefit others. Today I came across the story of a man who did. You can read that story here.
People spend their lives chasing dreams like winning a Super Bowl, and owning Super Bowl rings. In reality trophies and rings are just temporary items that have no eternal value. . . but it can be used to affect someone's eternity, as Cherry is trying to do.
Jesus, in his Sermon on the Mount said, "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." Matthew 6:19-21
It is really encouraging to see people live out their faith and literally put their money where their beliefs are.
But it is also really cool thinking about owning a Super Bowl ring too. Although if I did win it, I would not know what to do with it. Probably sell it because I can't afford the taxes on it! But I digress. . . If you would like a chance to own a piece of history AND help the children of the world as well, you can purchase tickets at the Celebrities for Charity website here.
