I heard another take on treasure yes...Thank you :)<br /><br />I heard another take on treasure yesterday in church: sacrifice. Treasures often come at great sacrifice and cost, like the sacrifice of Jesus giving His life for ours. <br /><br />Just as we need to remember He is our true treasure, sometimes we also need to remember that we are His treasure, His pearl of great price.

It got me thinking about what my treasure is stored in. Is it located in a Heavenly place or a physical place? That depends on what my treasure is, right? Is it material or spiritual? If I were to be truthful, right now there's a bit off both! My grandmother's wedding ring, my auntie's music box from her trip to Switzerland and the 'family cashmere shawl' that is passed down from generation to generation. Whilst none of these things are of great monetary value they are still my treasures. I can't take them with me but I can hand them on to others as a remembrance of the people and values they represent. Physical treasures with spiritual significance, especially when the story is passed on with the treasure!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06059712108066541750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-515660504291275491.post-6573742937163878332017-10-13T19:12:29.812+11:002017-10-13T19:12:29.812+11:00Than you, dear Iola.

It belonged to a sweet lady from church that I absolutely adored and was given to me by her best friend when she passed away.
