Growing up I had a Rugrats (check out an episode on youtube) wallet that I only used a couple of times. It mostly just sat in my desk drawer. One day a few years ago I came across the wallet and found a five dollar bill in it. At first I was confused, then I was excited, and then I wanted to leave it there to find again later. I think I ended up spending it.
A similar experience happened to a man in Matthew 13, which says the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field.
Have you ever come across treasure? If you were this guy, do you think you could leave the treasure? Would you be afraid that the treasure would be discovered? Would you want to steal it, nobody would know it was you?
Everyone treasures different things. One thing I really treasure is getting to spend time out in nature, especially the woods. What are the things you treasure?
Try to keep your eyes open for treasure today and thank God for the many blessings we have.
