The Gospel today speaks of the treasures of our gifts on earth and how to really enjoy them is to share them with others.

By giving we receive, by sharing we love, by loving with grow in closeness to God. Once we decide to take hold of something and hold it covetously, we don’t own it anymore. Our ego or selfishness owns it.

Let’s take our day and let go of some of those things dear to us. Our compassion, love, generosity and ability to make someone’s life better just from being with us this day.
