Treasure

Matthew 13:44

The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then with joy went and sold all he had and bought that field.

Luke found a treasure in a field. He hid it again, and with joy in his heart thought about what a treasure it would be. He knew the field was very costly and would take all that he had. He still desired that treasure and spoke of it with a friend. His friend said that treasures and dreams are for people better than us. His wife called him a fool for suggesting they sacrifice what they already had. Luke’s priest encouraged him to think more responsibly and care for his family, making the most of what he has been given in life. Luke never bought that field.
