Keep Digging!

"In Christ every treasure of wisdom

and knowledge is hidden." Colossians 2:3

I'm doing the bible study with

Good Morning Girls and

we are on our third week.

Although I've read the bible from cover to cover,

this is the first time this verse sunk in.

Is it not, if one keeps digging, 

one ultimately finds something?

It doesn't matter if one is 

not smart,

if one is distracted,

if one does it out of routine or obedience,

if there's a treasure and you persist,

you will find it!

I'm going to keep digging,

because I've already found some treasure,

but I want some more!!!

I was looking for a woman

in this background

with a pearl.

"At the bottom of the chalice, 

there must be a pearl."

Father Raniero Cantalemessa,

who is the preacher to the Pope,

writes about the redemptive power 

implicit in all hardship and pain

(and we ALL have to go through that, don't we?

and wonder WHY, WHY ME???)

"What do you do to 

reassure someone that a particular drink

contains no poison?

You drink it yourself first,

in front of him.

This is what God has done for humanity:

he has drunk the bitter cup of passion...

At the bottom of the chalice,

there must be a pearl.

We know the name of that pearl:

resurrection!"

There! Keep digging and we find pearls!!!

Every week I choose one wonderful

visitor who leaves a comment

to receive an ATC from me.

(I know how much time and effort

it takes to leave a comment!

I love to visit but sometimes,

it is such a pain to leave a comment

because of all the word verification

and different passwords, etc.)

This week Random Generator

chose #51, Jo Ann of

J. Atterbury Creations.

She creates lots of wonderful cards

with Bible verses and positive sentiments.
