Hi Linda, thank you for continuing to think of all those impacted by the storms here in Florida. I too have many friends who have lost most or all of their household furniture, homes, and cars and will need to begin the long process of rebuilding their lives. But as one of my friends said who did lose a lot of her furniture and had her home flooded, she will rebuild differently. She will not have as much “stuff” to put out. Each day as I drive by the mounds of debris in front of people’s homes I am reminded how quickly all our material things can be gone in a few short hours. Days after Hurricane Milton, I listened to a priest share about the rich young ruler. He reminded us to be attached to Christ and not our things.
This is our true treasure just as you said Linda. As always thank
You for sharing your gift of writing with us. A grateful reader, Deborah
Thank you for sharing, Deborah. You are so right. We tend to store up lots of “treasures” on earth, where moth and rust and hurricanes consume. Our true, lasting treasure is in heaven. Thinking of you and your friends!
Thank you for the reminder, Linda when so many around me have lost so much, I am going to share this with my Bible study group. Half of my sisters have lost everything in their homes and are having to relocate while trying to maintain normalcy in their families. Appreciate this reminder of our real treasure.
Becky, I thought of you and some of my other FL readers. So sorry for what your friends are going through! I can't imagine. Let them know I'm praying for them and thanks for sharing!
Linda, you captured the beauty of our retreat so well. Thanks for reminding us of our treasures and our responsibility!
Thanks, Terry! I will "treasure" those memories. Hoping to see you on the coaching call tomorrow!

What a beautiful wrap up of our time together, Linda! And the reminder that we are God's treasure with His treasure to share!
Thanks, Cathy! I'm so thankful for the time we spent together and for the many things we learned and accomplished.
