I like to travel every now and then. You know,see new and exciting places or things. Well, anyway, I recently visited a jungle area where we (the touring group and I) were talking with some natives. I noticed one native gentleman wearing a unique looking necklace, and curious as I am, decided to question him about it.
"What is it made of?" I asked.
"Alligator's teeth," he replied.
"Oh, that's interesting," I said. "I suppose they mean as much to you as pearls do to us."
"Oh no," he objected.
"Anybody can open an oyster."
Things you treasure and eternal perspective. If you mix the two together, and you find your treasure is still valuable, then you have a true treasure indeed.
The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it. -Mathew 13:44
