Good morning Col Burroughs and Posse and happy hump day.
I think it's interesting that the best quotes about treasures come from those who have suffered loss(es) Sometimes that it is what it takes to realize what truly is important and what we treasure (value). We don't see it until we almost lose it. This is a topic that grief and loss clients return to frequently and it is interesting to see how their views change over time. What is it you treasure most and has that changed over time?

Agreed Ma'am.
Those who have not suffered hardship or loss, have no or little foundation to build upon. They can never fully appreciate something thats never been threatened.

I expect that you are generous with your time and talents and hope that you are generous with your treasure - the temporary treasure of financial resources and more importantly the treasure of relationship with God through the atonement of the Christ. ‘[do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share, thus storing up treasure for themselves as a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is truly life.’ [1 Timothy 6:18-19 ESV] my sister-in-Christ Lt Col Charlie Brown.
I lift up the elected leaders, legislators and judges of this nation, Canada, Mexico, Israel, UK, France, Germany, India, Australia, South Korea, Japan, Philippines, and New Zealand to YOU dear LORD. I pray that they are becoming conscientious stewards of the trust placed in them and the tax revenues in the coffers of those nations. I pray that YOU expose those who are corrupt.
I pray you that I seize each opportunity to live our lives wisely, not foolishly [Ephesians 5:15 CEB]. I pray that we are each discerning and generous with our time, talent, and treasure. ‘Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.’ [Matthew 5:7 ESV].
I pray that parents, siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents each are doing our best to develop and encourage reasonable expectations for gifts of time, talent, and treasure in the children entrusted to our care. I pray that we do our best to fulfil our own obligations.
I pray that leaders and managers of all types are generous with their knowledge and insight.
I pray that you and your family members sleep well Wednesday night and will awake refreshed and healthy on Thursday morning.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ

Good “Wednesday & Hump Day” Morning “Burroughs’ Posse Leader from a cold and rainy day here in the Greater Boston Area... At least it isn't the white stuff coming down yet! LOL!
“Treasure Day!” Why Not?
MY PERSONAL QUOTE:
"Treasure is generally thought of as physical items of value, but the real treasures in life are those that are not physical items, but of the hidden gems of life itself like kindness, positivity, love, dedication, friendship, prayer, and the list goes on ad infinitum... Let those qualities of life permeate your soul you will be forever rich to all..." Kerry F. Harkins October 28, 2020
1) "Truth is the property of no individual but is the treasure of all men." - Ralph Waldo Emerson
2) "The greatest treasures are those invisible to the eye but found by the heart." - Judy Garland
3) "Close friends are truly life's treasures. Sometimes they know us better than we know ourselves. With gentle honesty, they are there to guide and support us, to share our laughter and our tears. Their presence reminds us that we are never really alone." - Vincent Van Gogh
4) "The human heart has hidden treasures, In secret kept, in silence sealed; The thoughts, the hopes, the dreams, the pleasures, Whose charms were broken if revealed." - Charlotte Bronte - English novelist and poet.
5) "Know, son, that everything in the universe is a pitcher brimming with wisdom and beauty, the universe is a drop of the 'Tigris of His beauty, this beauty was a Hidden Treasure so full it burst open and made the earth more radiant than the heavens." - Rumi (13th-century Persian poet, faqih, Islamic scholar, theologian, and Sufi mystic)
As you move forward in life, remember this...
“Leaders are rich in treasures when they carry with them treasures of virtue, outstanding qualities, strong leader traits, and steadfast principles. Invest those leader treasures to cultivate and nurture individuals and future leaders – that is priceless!”— COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
