Yesterday was the day that Sis decided to take me on my treasure hunt! Like I said previously, the mistletoe just hangs everywhere here in huge clusters right at an arm’s length away. We were driving along a country road and right on the roadside was this huge cluster of mistletoe just waiting for me! It is the most beautiful bough I have ever seen in my sixty one years.

Just down the road from where we found the mistletoe was a field full of gleaned cotton with several beautiful stalks of it that the machine missed. I was able to get all I want as it doesn’t come up every year and has to be replanted. I have always stood in awe of the beauty of a field of cotton. To me the sight of the pods bursting forth with the fluffy white softness is truly a wonder from God.

Next we head to the local Goodwill. Anyone that knows me in the least knows how I love finding treasures at Goodwill! Sheppard Air Force Base is nearby so this Goodwill is a really good one. Here I find the greatest treasure of all:

Today I drive to Oklahoma to see Rylan and do Christmas with him and family there and also attend Balee and Spencer’s baby shower for which I have been knitting for months for. God knows how the long drive here hurt my hips and back so much and I feel that He loves me enough to let me find a 2.99 travel cushion and a .99 cent back support! I sure felt the Father’s love in finding these treasures!

God is not a bell boy to me or a slave but He is my best friend. This trip has been amazing and not only am I taking home material treasures tomorrow as I drive back to Tennessee but I am taking lots of treasures of the heart.

My sister has had a rough year in a lot of ways and the battles are still ongoing as are my battles in my own life back home but our God is bigger than all we have or can possibly face and that is our greatest treasure of all!

As I write this it is Sunday morning here and for all of you that do not know Christ as your personal Savior, your treasure awaits you! Please find Him today!
