OUR BURIED TREASURES

OUR BURIED TREASURES


We all have our
BURIED TREASURES in life=
For me=growing up=it
Was my baseball and football cards=
My army men=and my baseball bat
And glove


And of course=when we
Are adults=it's our homes=
Cars=bank accounts=etc., etc., etc.


But DEEP DOWN=I know-as I
HOPE you do=it IS
Our relationship with God
And our FAMILIES that are


THE REAL TREASURES IN OUR LIFE


“Do NOT store up
For yourselves
TREASURES on earth


Where moth and decay destroy
And thieves break in
And STEAL” Matthew 6:19


Our material objects
Are LIMITED=we CANNOT
Take them with us
To the next world


And we NEED to let
Jesus regularly REMIND us
Of that


It is easy
To get ATTACHED to things


The things in this life
Are false TREASURES
And they DISTRACT us
From the LORD
Whose LOVE=NEVER FAILS


Let us STAY ATTACHED
To our BURIED TREASURES
IN the Lord


“And if you look
For it as for SILVER
And search for it
As for HIDDEN TREASURE........” Proverbs 2:4


“For where your TREASURE is
There your HEART
Will also BE” Matthew 6:21


MY TREASURE is in
My GOD and MY FAMILY
Things that will LAST
LONG after I am gone


“Sell your possessions
And GIVE to the poor


Provide purses for yourselves
That will NOT wear out
A TREASURE in heaven


That will NEVER fail
Where no thief comes near
And no moth destroys


For WHERE YOUR TREASURE IS
There your HEART
Will also be” Luke 12:33-34


BUILD a life
That will last
BUILD on God
And build on FAMILY


“But Mary
TREASURED UP all these things
And PONDERED them
In her heart” Luke 2:19


DEAR LORD=help us
To TREASURE you=and our FAMILIES


And the FAMILY OF GOD
ABOVE all else
In this life
And in this world


OUR BURIED TREASURES


In Jesus' name=and in the name
OF our EVERLASTING FATHER
