Tiny legs carried them across the sand in a frenetic search as each child bent low over a crudely sketched map. The sunlight shone from their eyes like sea glass scattered on the beach.
“It’s here somewhere,” one said.
“Let me look at that.” Another boy grabbed the paper from his brother and quickly assessed their position. “I think it’s by him. Come on, guys. It’s gotta be buried somewhere by dad.”
Squealing and shouting, four little children careened toward their father. Joining in their play, the man threw his head back.  His laughter joined the rush of the ocean waves splashing joyfully against the beach.
The littlest one squatted near her father’s feet and brushed wet, gritty sand from something dark and brown. The boys joined in and they dug deeper, grainy bits of shell and dirt cemented to dimpled hands and limbs. Forming a pocket around the ridge of a wooden box, the one with the husky voice shouted, “We found it. Buried treasure.”
That game was one our children-now teens and young adults-still remember. My husband was a master at creating treasure hunts and this was particularly memorable.

Like children, we are all seeking after treasure; searching after that which fills the empty places of our souls. But the treasure that satisfies man’s soul isn’t discovered in wealth, fame, or even family. It’s found in the person of Jesus Christ and He is waiting patiently for people to seek Him.
Scripture affirms, “You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” (Jeremiah 29:13)

He pours out spiritual riches."]

And when we seek the treasure of Christ afresh each day, He pours out the spiritual riches of love, joy, peace, patience, goodness, kindness, gentleness, faithfulness, and self-control.
Oh, the abundant goodness of our Father!

and the free gift of Life."]

Here, kneeling in the blood-soaked soil at the foot of the cross we’ve discovered the Logos, the Lord, the Lamb, the Lion of Judah, and the free gift of Life.
May you find comfort in your wealth today, Friend.
Peace and grace,
Tammy
