If you're like me and if you're reading "Inspirational Thoughts and More...," I know a little bit about you. So, I'm guessing that when I ask, "What is your treasure?" your answer will be "my family." You may even say it more than once, "My family, my family, of course."

... our heart-felt response to the question,
what is your treasure?
will involve people--
a spouse, your children, your grandchildren,
or those very special forever friends
in your life.

Is it possible that the something you cherish is your pain, your resentment, the bad things in your life? Do you think of it while lying sleepless at night? Do you think of it during the quiet times of your day? And when life goes awry, do you store it with the other treasure for possible future use? Is it precious to you because someone injured you and you don't want to let it go? Is it something that brings shame--something sin sick--and so you hide it away?
You cherish this
because it is yours
and giving it away might mean
that you lose a piece of yourself,
a piece that has become a part of who you are.
Matthew 6: 21 reads...
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
your heart to be?
Somewhat scary? . . .
Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things.

Something to think about!
