Matthew 13:44 “The
kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which someone found and
hid; then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.
2 Timothy 1:14 Guard the good treasure entrusted to you,
with the help of the Holy Spirit living in us.
I never tire of watching the birds on our two bird
feeders. With the exception of the wide
tray at the bottom of one they are identical.
That one is filled with safflower seed which the dove and cardinals love
but the squirrels won’t eat. The other
is filled with finch food. The two
together attract a nice variety of birds. This morning two doves were nesting
on the feeder tray. They weren’t eating,
simply hunkered down, each facing a different direction. I took it to be that they were guarding their
treasure. We each are blessed with
treasures in life. In addition to
spiritual treasures we have other things that are important to us; family,
friendships, pets, our health, our wealth, our freedoms. Sometimes due to our
inattentiveness they may become lost to us. Like those guard doves we must be alert and
attentive, guarding our treasures and as always offering them into God’s care
also.
Each day, Lord I wake thankful for the treasures that you
have entrusted to me. Help me to treasure
them and to guard them. Help me that I
may be someone’s treasure. In your Son’s
name we pray. Amen.
Blessings,Paige
