Matthew 16:25-26<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it. What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul?\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Joyce and I were watching the Antiques Roadshow<\/em> recently. A woman had brought in an item (I cannot recall what it was) that looked like a piece of trash. (I guess I never did have good taste). She had purchased this item for a few dollars at a yard sale. The appraised value was something like $30,000. WOW!<\/p>\n

I have tried to imagine what a different ride it was going home than coming to the Roadshow. I am sure that the appraised item which would have been treated with little concern going there, would receive special care on the way home.<\/p>\n

The things of this world have a strange way of being valued. We have heard that one man\u2019s trash is another man\u2019s treasure. Look around your own dwelling and see what you consider the most precious items. In our home it is our family!<\/p>\n

The things of this world are very fleeting. Objects and even loved ones can disappear in a moment of time. There is one eternal treasure that can never be taken away. That is our salvation. In Christ we have the assurance of a mansion that is prepared just for us. Our net worth here may be small but in eternity it will be priceless!<\/p>\n

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!<\/p>\n
