Treasures

 

Treasure is such a personal thing. 

To a parent there is no treasure greater than their children. To a country real peace is the ultimate treasure. To a starving person it is food and to those who have lost one sense, it is the ones left to them. Treasure is not necessarily something you can hold in your hands, see with your eyes, or save for a rainy day.

Love is a treasure that many people seem to misunderstand. More valuable than gold, it cannot be hidden away in a tiny box inside your jewelry box. Given away it never decreases in value. It never expires or runs out.  It any of those thingss happen, it was probably not love after all. 

There are lots of wonderful things that masquerade as love, but that is the trouble with imposters. They aren't the real thing. Time is in the telling.

My love is great enough to love all the people in my world. I do not feel, or express it the same way for all of them, but that does not make it less than. It only makes it different. I think true love has to be custom built for the beloved. We don't all need the same things in the same way or in the same amount There is a biblical phrase that sort of fits this, "Give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and give to God what belongs to God." 

That is true for almost everything. Give to each what they need and all will be well.
