Treasures Stored in Heaven

A well known pastor was invited to dinner in the home of a very wealthy man in Texas. After the meal, the host led him to a place where they could get a good view of the surrounding area. Pointing to the oil wells he boasted, “twenty-five years ago I had nothing. Now, as far as you can see it’s all mine.” Looking in the opposite direction at the sprawling fields of grain, he said, “that's all mine.” Turning east toward huge herds of cattle, he bragged, “they're all mine.” Then pointing to the west and a beautiful forest, he said, “that, too, is all mine.” He paused, expecting the pastor to compliment him on his success but the pastor simply said, pointing toward heaven, “How much do you have in that direction?” Author Unknown
