Treasures
Some years ago my sister Sheryl spent some weeks with my husband and me at our California home. We enjoyed our Saturday mornings by traipsing to garage sales -- sifting through discards and cast-offs, searching for those illusive treasures. Sheryl had owned an antique store in Iowa so it was fun having her expertise to separate real finds from just junk.
At one sale, she spotted a painting of a young woman hung inside a tattered frame. I couldn't clearly see the woman's gypsy-like features, but Sheryl immediately saw potential. After hearing the owners throw out a price of $10, she countered with $8, and Don and I quickly became the proud owners of what we now call our "gypsy girl." An $8 treasure!
As followers of Christ, we have the opportunity to search through a whole storehouse of treasures in the Word of God and discover something much better than a garage sale painting. In the pages of scripture we will find the master Creator --
the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
