When I heard about the egg being found, I thought how awesome to hold something with such a story - because I believe they were people of faith - and that they recognized the story like you describe. They struggled with their faith just like we do.

My husband and I watch "Storage Wars" sometimes, so I understand the risk vs reward that some people take. <br /><br />But I love how you wove that story into Scripture. And it got me thinking about what I would give for his blessings. They are free, but also priceless. Nothing I could give would be good enough... <br />Wonderful piece.

Certainly God could use instances like these to get our attention, or, alternatively, Satan could to distract us (but only if God allowed it). Or there may be some other natural explanation not requiring supernatural intervention (although, with God, there are no coincidences). As I mentioned in my recent blog post, Home Again, when my mother-in-law passed, her daughter and son-in-law were startled that the IPod in her purse turned itself on, playing "No Regrets," which was the last song my mother-in-law had listened to before passing.<br />As Christians, we have so many spiritual blessings now and so much to look forward to in eternity that there is no need to concern ourselves with earthly treasures.<br />Thanks as always for sharing your insights.<br />God bless,<br />LaurieLaurie Colletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10676088158113572565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8901842915517693862.post-23340224463480293702014-03-23T15:01:12.168-07:002014-03-23T15:01:12.168-07:00Thanks, Cathy, and you're very welcome!

Then I decided to remove any disc in the player before bedtime. Again at 1 am, the radio suddenly came on, tuned in to a station, which was odd, because I left the radio untuned when we installed it. <br />Supernatural occurance? I don't know, but when I moved the equipment to the other end of our lounge, the phenomenon stopped.<br />As for earthly treasures, I have learned to take a light view of them, as we never know when our time is up, leaving everything behind - Luke 12:12-21.<br />Lovely egg though!
