I have reflected on scripture that says “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Matthew 6:19-21)
Have you ever wondered how to store up treasure in heaven?
Here is a thought. When we give of our time, energy, or money, we make a heavenly deposit. Then I envision something interesting taking place. We make an earthly deposit and then there comes a heavenly blessing. Heavenly blessings are not necessarily material or financial. Heavenly blessings are things we do not expect or anticipate. Heavenly blessings provide what we truly and deeply need. Perhaps that is why we often feel peace when we would be expected to feel anxious. God’s blessings can prove pretty amazing.
We offer our time, energy, and money - our whole lives- not in order to get something but simply because we love the Lord.
Your heavenly account is vastly greater than you realize. Heavenly blessing are coming in ways we may not recognize.
So, maybe we could recognize God’s blessing more fully.
Just a thought.
It’s been a good day. I hope you’ve had a good day too.

Heavenly blessings come when you least expect one. Our heavenly blessing came when our son Eddie was in TMC ICU for almost two weeks. When the Dr. came in and said he had a 50/50 chance of having to be placed in a medically induced coma my thought were he won’t recover, but the next two days showed great improvement. God was listening to my prayers and sent our family a heavenly blessing.��
