Treasure….

 

Treasure….

I have various snapshots in my mind or on paper, times when they have become treasures of my heart….children, grandchildren and now, great grandchildren….things they did that were so precious that I really don’t want to forget….I look  at them or remember them with a deep joy or smile…

When Simeon and Anna blessed Jesus, Mary did the same thing…without the modern technology of cameras or phones, she “treasured up all these things in her heart”…..as well as so much more…angels, shepherds, even the long trip to Bethlehem, etc…

Now, when you ponder your life, I am sure you can think of treasures that you ponder…they are all parts of the precious gifts God has planned for each of us think about and praise Him …

Giving thanks in all things…

Maybe even listing them out or calling whomever and thanking them…or texting them for their place in our lives…wouldn’t that bless your life? Or theirs?

Thank YOU…..
