Where Your Treasure Is, There Your Heart Will Be

 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. — Matthew 6:20

Our treasure is with the Lord.

Not in anything here on earth.

Instead, He goes to prepare a place for us.

And that's where our treasure lies.

Not anywhere here on earth.

Even though it's tempting to trust in earthly things.

God points us in the direction He wants us to go.

Guide me, today, Lord.

Treasure in Jars of Clay

We have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. — 2 Corinthians 4:7

God has formed  us just a potter forms a jar from clay.

We have the treasure of salvation in our bodies, jars of clay.

This power is all-surpassing.

It is a gift from God.

It is not from us nor from anything we do.

We are struck down but not destroyed.

We are hard pressed on every side but not crushed.

Thanks be to God!

Surrounded by Friends

You are my friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. — John 15:14-15

We are surrounded by friends that we treasure.

Yesterday we had lots of them attend Gary's memorial service and send emails and cards remembering his life.

Those who were not able to attend the service can watch it on our church LiveStream: http://livestream.com/FPCSD/events/8748320

After the service, we came back to our house and enjoyed food and fellowship with friends and relatives.

What a great way to end the day!
