Treasures

What is your treasure?
Is it gold, silver, stones, or money?
Is it job security, prestige, or notoriety?
Is it swimming pools, cars, or homes?
Where are your treasures?
Are they in your pocket, or in your heart?
Are your treasures sure to last?
I carry my treasures in my heart...
My treasures are the faces -
colors of yellow, red, black, brown, and white;
tears of joy, and smiles.
My treasures are the people of a great, big world...
made small by love.
My treasures are the waves, nods, handshakes, hugs, and kisses.
My treasures are the laughter of little children,
and the wisdom and advice of those who have gone before me.
My treasure is having my family to love -
in knowing them - completely;
In looking at them and holding them
and knowing that they are a gift from God.
My treasure is the love of God,
Who gave His only Son;
it is in following Jesus,
it is in listening to and obeying His Holy Spirit
and it is in reading His Word.
My treasures can never be taken away or destroyed.
What are your treasures,
and where do you keep them?!!

"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth,
where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.
20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven,
where moth and rust do not destroy,
and where thieves do not break in and steal.
21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."
(Matthew 6:19-21 in the Holy Bible) NIV
