The Antique Adventure

Dear Friends,

One can only imagine all the treasures that can be found in an old antique store.  There are many unique and rare items.  Although each person has their own idea of treasure (note: if I may say so...quite frankly state that, that Shrek cup wasn't an antique or a 'treasure').  According to Webster's Dictionary treasure is wealth that is stored up or hoarded; something of great worth or value; also : a person esteemed as rare or precious. I am quite certain that some of the owners of those shops were just plain hoarders of anything that had even one speck of dust on it.  Other shops had the coolest trinkets and gadgets you've only seen in a 1950's movie.  But then I got to thinking, what is my treasure? Do I store up my wealth (ha my poor college self)? Or maybe I like to think of special people in my life as treasures? 

I then found a bit of treasure in the good ole' Bible... "If you want to be perfect, go and sell all your possessions and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” (Matthew 19:21).  Mom's always said that if I am selfless in different situations that 'an extra jewel will be put in your crown in heaven.' Maybe just maybe she was right this once ;)  Definitely got to re-evaluate my thoughts on treasure... my treasure in this world could be chopped into pieces today, but my treasure in my real home is everlasting.  Depending on which treasure I pick, it could impact my perspective and actions throughout my life.  Where is your treasure?
