Where Is Your Treasure?

Matthew 6:21--"Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."

What do you treasure? Without what can you live? Jesus' message to us has not changed since the time he spoke this to his disciples and others. Take a look at your checkbook, credit card accounts, or ATM account. On what do you spend your money? How does that compare with what you give to the Lord through your church? Oh, oh, now I've stepped on toes. Jesus did too, because no one likes to be put on the spot. Jesus really didn't care if he hurt the feelings of his followers. He told the truth anyway and this is the truth.

I made this little heart decoration from a Christmas ornament with rust-colored paint. I repainted it old gold and added colored tulle inside, a paper heart (Shabby Cottage Studio), glitter glue, an old earring and silk cording. The heart measures about 4" x 4" and is about 1" deep.
