Where Does Your Treasure Lie?

An old fairy tale tells the story of a mother who learns the hard way what her treasure really is.

While out in the forest picking strawberries with her young daughter, a mother discovers a large cave filled with golden treasure that is guarded by three maidens. Told she can have as much gold as she can hold, the mother releases her child's hand to gather the gold coins in her apron.

In shock she discovers that by choosing the gold she has fortified her child's company for 1 year.

When the mother returns to the cave the following year, she sees the maidens, the gold, and her child. Again the maidens tell her she can have as much gold as she can carry, but the mother runs eagerly to her child and enfolds the child in her arms.

"Take the little one home; the maidens tell the mother, "For now your love is greater than your desires."--Virginia Jensen 2001 Women's Conference

The savior taught us about priorities when He said,
"Lay not for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and thieves break through and steal. But lay upon yourselves treasures in Heaven... for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." (3Nephi 13:19-20)


This was the FHE lesson Steve prepared this week and we discussed our treasure and where our priorities lie. Then we both wrote 5 things we love about each other and shared them with one another. Really great lesson Steve and very important to be continually evaluating... love you!!

Thought I would share with you all :)
