Christian Reflection and Prayer

Scripture:

"The Kingdom of Heaven is like a treasure
hidden in a field" (Matthew 13:44)

In a "Peanuts" comic strip, Lucy and Charlie
Brown are engaged in earnest conversation
about the meaning of life. Lucy feels that it's
a matter of one's perspective. She says,
"Life is like a deck chair. Some people place
it so they can see where they are going.
Some people place it so they can see where
they have been. And some people place it
so they can see where they are now.
" Charlie ponders Lucy's little discourse,
then replies, "I can't even get mine unfolded."
"
Reflection:

I remember as a young boy one of my
favorite games to play was "Pirate", and
I was always looking for the hidden
treasure.
I have found that hidden treasure, that
treasure is the meaning of my life through
God.  To share in the life of God, to be in
intimate union with God is my life's greatest
treasure, now and for all eternity.
THE MOMENT IS NOW!
Jesus says you can "be glad and rejoice"
now and have your "reward in heaven," both!
Jesus' words echo those of the Old Testament
Psalmist who wrote, "This is the day the Lord
has made; let us be glad and rejoice in it"
 (Ps. 118:24).
NOT YESTERDAY, NOT TOMORROW, BUT
NOW TODAY, THIS DAY LIVE YOUR
GREATEST TREASURE BE IN UNION WITH
GOD!!!!!!!
