WOYWW: Treasure

Here is my messy desk this WOYWW  morning.

I was making backgrounds last night.

A lot of my backgrounds were too dark,

and I decided to stamp on it with white paint

to lighten it up.

Painting and stamping lift my spirits,

especially after all the sadness

of the past week with news about the 

violent Yolanda!

The Gospel reading today is from Luke 19:11-28.

It is about a rich man who left 

each of his 10 servants a gold coin each.

His instructions to them was that they should 

engage in trade with the money.

When he returned he asked for an accounting.

The first servant said he was able to 

earn 10 additional gold coins.

The master then said, "Well done!

You have been faithful in this small matter,

take charge of 10 cities!  

When it came to another servant,

the master was sorely disappointed for the

servant kept the coin in his handkerchief!

So the master took away the coin and gave it to 

the one with 10 coins!

I thought this parable was about talents

and perhaps it is.

But in the Word Among Us, the gold coin,

this treasure was compared to the good news.

"Each of us has a role in building the Kingdom,

and each of us has a unique way

that we are called to put our 'gold coin'

of the Gospel message to work.

In God's Kingdom, we grow our treasure

by giving it away.

Who are the friends in your life

who need the treasure that you have?"

Word Among Us

We need to shout with joy, 

clap our hearts, and praise God

for this treasure!

And we need to share it!

So many people are in pain right now.

Let us take the time to think of ways we 

can bring light and healing in to their lives.

Is there someone we need to pray for?

I have been praying for my mother

who was hospitalized.

I try to remember to pray at all times

and not lose heart.

Luke18:1

What a treasure to know that God is always 

listening and hears our every cry.

We may not understand why,

but if we trust Him,

we will not be disappointed!

Every week I choose one wonderful visitor

who leaves a comment

to receive an ATC from me.

I know it takes so much time and effort

to leave a comment

and I appreciate it soooo much!

This week,

Random.org chose

 #40, Jenny of  Big Family, Small Farm.

She has a big family of 9!

I wonder how she does it,

maybe she is superwoman

in disguise? :^))))
