Treasures

As we are selling our things (earthly treasures) I am reminded of just how blessed we are.
God has poured out His blessings on us in every way and surely with earthly possessions.
I think we both have had a feeling of sadness and at one point I had a feeling of guilt in selling some of these things, in that God had blessed us with them and now we are selling them as though we where not thankful. But God spoke to my heart and reminded me of what He tells us in His word in Matthew chapter six about treasures, not to lay them up here on earth where moth and rust corrupt, where thieves can steal and I may add and depreciate to be worth almost nothing, but to lay your treasures in heaven where nothing can take them. We are not selling these things to make a profit but selling them to go and do what God has called us to do, When I'm reminded of that I have a feeling of satisfaction and a feeling of blessedness more than I can explain.
Things (treasures) are good but doing The Thing God has called you to do is the BEST.
Please pray that God will help us to continue on the journey. God Bless.
