Oh ! What Great Treasures I Have Found!
I know the Lord continues to remind me
about what I should do each day.
I go for walks around the neighborhood and
He has left signs along my way.

One afternoon, I found a tiny Bible encased in a metal gold container
with a small cross on it and only 3 links still attached from a chain.
The message from that was for me to read the Holy Scriptures -
and the truth of the Holy Trinity the Lord would explain.

Then one morning, I came across a time clock
that only tick-tocked for one hour and then the bell would ring out.
That meant to me not to waste the time the Lord has given me and
never in the faith have doubt.

My next two finds were an open-ended wrench and
then only the head of a tire tool pressure gauge.
The wrench meant for me to keep working with my gift and
the tip of the tire tool was for me to be reverent and not puff-up with age.

Then the next week I spied one piece of a cardboard puzzle
and a brass key with no lock that I could find.
I took that as a message to not let lifes' unanswered questions
bother my mind.

As of this date, I've also gathered a crumpled dollar bill and some coins -
meaning I'd never be rich and to be humble and keep my feet on solid ground.
My last find was a fish hook - it reminded me to be a fisher-of-men for the Lord.
Oh! What great treasures I have found!!!
