Where is your treasure?

It is Saturday morning, I am lying in bed typing away on my laptop and missing Marilyn.  I know that I need to get on with my life and I must say that I am doing that - but sometimes remembering is hard.  Saturdays were always special for us.  We had our special breakfast spot.  I could always entice Marilyn to get up a bit earlier if we were going out for breakfast.  On the way we would often stop at a few garage sales.  Marilyn was a drive by garage sale shopper and I liked to browse through the back corners through dusty old boxes looking for treasures.  I miss those days.

Yesterday I noticed a family setting up their trash in the driveway.  Trash that was once their treasure.  Trash that would possibly become someone else's treasure.  It made me think about life.  We have a lot of trash in our closets.  Trash that needs to be discarded. Trash that we probably consider to be and hold on to as a treasure.  We need to clean out the dark and dusty corners of our life and set the trash out on our life's driveway where all can see.  Someone might just come along and turn that old trash into a beautiful treasure. God has a way of doing just that.  In the book of Matthew Chapter 6, we are given some really good advice - it says -  

• 19"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."
  

I think I will get up and go out for a drive.  Maybe I will find a treasure or two. It is still morning here.
