“While most people today measure treasure in monetary values, real treasure is seldom found in what is valued by the powerful or rich of this world. Real treasure, lasting treasure, is found in relationships with others, in friendship, in love, in faith, and most of all, in the word of God, the knowledge of which leads to eternal life.”
Ann Gibson in “True Treasure” from Dynamic Steward Journal 16:4 2012.
Today I am investing in my relationship with my son. We are fly fishing for Bonneville Cutthroat Trout in Utah en route to our nephew’s wedding in CA. Jenni will spend the day with Sophie. Why mention this?
We have to work to give ourselves to things that matter and have lasting value. Time with God and loved ones are among the greatest treasures of our lives. Giving ourselves to these relationships may well be among our greatest acts of generosity.
