TREASURE

written by Donna (Ensign) Woods

(Matthew 6:21)

("For where your treasure is

there your heart will be also.")

 

Where is my heart's treasure ?

What truly gives me joyous pleasure ?

I have 5 children, I treasure and love

and 8 grandchildren, blessed from above.

I treasure beautiful places

And the love found on precious faces.

Blessings I ponder when I sit alone

In the peaceful silence of my home.

A scrapbook of memories I treasure

Of people, places and things of pleasure.

I greatly value being mother and wife

....But true lasting treasure is not of this life

The greatest treasure I've known....

The love and sacrifice Christ has shown.

I treasure God's mercy and grace

And the love as I seek His face.

I treasure the blood He freely gave

Just so my soul...He could save

I treasure His words written in red

And every truth and promise He said.

I treasure His wisdom, strength and hope

As He gives me courage to live and cope.

Humbly I fall at the foot of the cross

I treasure being found.....and no longer lost.
