Eureka Stone
December 4, 2013
Read: Matthew 13:44-50
In 1867 on a farm in South Africa, 15-year-old Erasmus Jacobs saw a stone glistening in the sun. The shining rock was eventually reported to a neighbor, who wanted to buy it from the family. Not knowing its value, Erasmus mother told the neighbor, You can keep the stone, if you want it.
Eventually, a mineralogist determined the stone to be a 21.25 carat diamond and worth a great sum. It became known as the Eureka Diamond. (The Greek word eureka means I found it!) Soon the fields near the Jacobs farm soared in value. Underneath the land was one of the richest diamond deposits ever discovered.
Jesus said that the value of being part of Gods kingdom is like treasure: The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field (Matt. 13:44).
When we put our faith in Christ, a spiritual eureka moment arrives. God gives us forgiveness in His Son. It is the greatest treasure that could ever be found. Now all of life can begin to center on the value of becoming a joyous member of His eternal kingdom. Its our joy to share that valuable discovery with others.
How we need a keen awareness
Of the joys God wants to share!
Priceless treasures found in Jesus
We are rich beyond compare! D. DeHaan
Gods kingdom is a treasure meant to be shared.

I mulled this over a bit, and decided upon Brandy and Benedictine.
(Not too sweet).
To: The Mayor
Seriesly. I've always enjoyed this drink (and I'm over 70). Since I'm a teetotaler, it's my one drinking "vice". And no, my zeal for this beverage came about long before Ralphie Parker was disillusioned by that "crummy commercial". But at this time of year, Ovaltine does seem especially apt.

I dunno, but I make this drink during Christmas time:
Four shots of Bailey’s, four shots of Kahlua.
Wondering if there’s a name for this drink -it’s pretty dern good.

You Are Cider |
Your holiday personality is cozy. The holidays are your favorite time to stay home, stay warm, and spend time with those you love.
You don't need a lot to make you happy over the holidays. Seeing an old relative or favorite holiday film is enough to make your day. |
