Theme: Was That a Gift from God?"The gift of life is a treasure. What we do with our lives determines our spiritual state and our degree of contentment.
While we in ECK can have and enjoy the material pleasures of life, we also know that all earthly goods carry a price and last but so long.
And it is easy to lose them. On the other hand, real
treasure often turns up in unexpected places."
