Matthew 6:20-21
But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal; For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

One day as my memory took me away to my childhood, I began to day dream about the days when our family spent a lot of time at Hi-low in the Mountains near Beaver where my Grandparents owned quite a bit of land and three cabins.  My cousin and I spent much time looking for the bear that went over the mountain; the memories I have could fill enough pages to write a novel.  A sadness fell over me that most of that land has been sold and my siblings and I may inherit very little land on the mountain side.  I was sad that most of the inheritance is gone. Later that day as I was driving in my car the words came to me, "Store up your treasures in Heaven."  Peace filled my soul as I pondered on those words. Our true inheritance is our Heavenly home, with our Father in Heaven.
