Lent

Day 4: February 20th
Storing up Your Treasures
As we journey our way to Easter there is something we forgot to do. We forgot to pack! Name a few things that you would never want to forget if you were going on a trip. What is it that you would want to grab if you had to leave your house in 10 minutes? What do you value?
God blesses with many things: family, food, shelter, and provisions so we can have fun and enjoy pleasures like toys. These are a few of the things that we value. We value our homes, free time, our favorite foods or toys. These are the treasures that we have. They are ours and we have an inclination to hoard them. When times get tough they are the things we hold tight. We sometimes think that we don’t have enough or that our happiness is limited by the amount of stuff we have. However, if we look around there is always someone who has less than us.
Jesus gave us His all. His whole life. We should be thankful to Him and in return give to those in need. To share our treasures with those who are in need.
How can we share our treasures?
Read Matthew 6:19-21
