“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” (Matthew 6:19-21)

Where’s your treasure? Ask yourself: 

• If I knew that tomorrow would be the last full day of my life, how would I spend it?

• If a list of adjectives were compiled to describe my life, what words would I like on that list?

• If I were to die tomorrow, what would I want people to remember as my most important achievement?

• Is there any person or cause I would be willing to die for?

• If I were contemplating suicide, what are 5 reasons for not doing it?

• What is vitally important to me, what has some importance, and what is a complete waste to me?

• If I were to write a letter to my children about what was most important in my life, what would I tell them?

• If only a single sentence could be written on my tombstone, what would I want that to be?
