... is another man's treasure.
We had a great exchange of trash and treasure at the church on Saturday morning. The weather was awful but we were indoors so perhaps that was an advantage. Instead of hanging out in soggy soccer fields, folk could keep warm and dry while they wandered the tables of goods.
I was on the garden table where I had dozens of flower pots and baskets to palm off (..er.. sell) Amazingly, there were people who wanted to buy!
As well as the exchange of goods, we also proffered good will.
Workers and shoppers had a good time.
Of course, this was not an ordinary garage sale. This was the people of SPPC giving of their treasure. Ezra 2:69, Neh 7:71
Few of us have the resources to give like King David, 1 Ch 29:3, although we've had an offer from an anonymous donor to match the amount raised during the sale. Still we all give "each according to his ability." Acts 11:29
Interestingly, as I searched my references for treasure that we give, I also found many that referred to the people of God as His treasure. Ex. 19:5, Deut. 14:2, 2 Cor 4:7
Praise God that despite our unworthiness, He always counts us as treasure, more precious than gold or silver.
