Throughout history gold has been a highly-valued commodity. During the Gold Rush, many people left everything...homes. families, some devoting their entire lives to the pursuit of it. God is a treasure far more precious than all the wealth on Earth, but unlike gold, He is not hard to find. He truly is a God who shows Himself. His truths are richly woven into the fabric of all creation. Our greatest insight into the very heart and mind are the Scriptures, but to find the real treasure, we must dig deep into the remote recesses of the Rock himself. One thing you will most certainly discover is the deeper you dig, the deeper He gets. In all eternity we will never be able to plumb the depths of God. It is my hope that perhaps through my own search for that 'Treasure above all Treasures' you will find something which will have some meaning for you. R.Whelan

THANKSGIVING PRAYER

Father, we thank you for the many blessings you have
given us, even those which come disguised as problems,
because ultimately they all work to bring us closer to you.

We thank you for our friends and our family and the times
we have together even though they are few.

It's also our prayer that the love we have for one another
will not end in this world, but that it will continue into the
next. And Father, as we look around us today at all the
empty seats around the table, it is our prayer that there
will be no empty seats in heaven. -- © 1999 Rachel Whelan
