Store Up Treasures in Heaven

Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. — Matthew 6:19-21 

God commands us to store up treasures in heaven.

Not on earth.

Even though earthly treasures are tempting.

But they're also temporary.

Destroyed by moths and rust.

Whereas treasures in heaven are not destroyed by moths and vermin.

Where my treasure it, there shall my heart be.

Do Not Store Up Treasures on Earth

Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. — Matthew 6:19

Today we took down our Christmas tree and decorations.

We set up our puzzle card table to start a puzzle depicting Mount Vernon.

Then we celebrated with dinner out.

Here was the beautiful view.

Happy new year!

From our family to yours.

Look at the Birds of the Air

Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. — Matthew 6:26

God feeds the birds, even though they don't save or store their food.

They don't even plant or harvest it.

They don't worry about what's coming the next day or week.

But I tend to be selfish with what I have.

Storing up treasures on earth rather than spending time with God and His Word.

God cares for the birds.

How much more will He care for me.

And He does.

Faithfully.

Store Up Treasures in Heaven

But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. — Matthew 6:20

This morning I went swimming - a gorgeous day to be outside.

Tonight I had some friends over for dinner to say goodbye to a friend who is moving to Texas.

She sold her home here in San Diego in just two days.

This week she'll pack up and move to Tyler, Texas.

If she decides to stay, the cost of living will be quite a bit less than it is here.

But we will miss her on our Saturday morning hikes.

She will be back in a few months to visit.
