[Discoveries] 12-24-07 Treasures -- Luke 2:19

[Inspiration in Your Inbox]

/*But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. 
-- Luke 2:19*/

What are you treasuring? What is buried deep in your soul?

I think about a four year old boy, sitting in a farmhouse kitchen, 
warming up near the cookstove, eating homemade toast with a thick layer 
of sugar on the top, while Grandma rolled out lefse and prayed in 
Norwegian. I think of a young man, a bit shy, posing for a snapshot next 
to a young woman with a beautiful smile. I think of five words written 
on a yellow piece of paper folded over, carried in a wallet, unfolded 
and read again and again: "I love you very much." I think of a new baby 
girl being carried by her daddy for the first time, looking up with wide 
eyes, wondering, I suppose, what sort of daddy he would be.

The year is coming to an end again. Soon it will be time to do taxes, 
and we will discover that some of us are rich, some of us are poor, and 
some of us are in between. But all of us have been given treasure.

Enjoy!

Be encouraged!
Dwight
