True Value

What is it that makes something valuable?

There are plenty of answers to that question, depending on your take on life. Commodities in short supply are deemed by commerce as valuable. Items that are very old or have a special history are said to be priceless.

The thing I was thinking about while sitting in church last night, is that the thing that makes us valuable is how much we are loved. I was thinking of my two best mates who's story appears below. To the commodity maket or to a collector they were worthless. The world would have thrown them away. Even my family would have rejected them if I had not loved them. As it was, when my parents saw how much I loved them, even they went out on a limb to protect them. My dog had a habit of biting people she thought were a threat to me, and my riding instructors were often telling my parents to get rid of my horse as he would never take me to the top!

Last night I was reminded that the thing that make us so valuable in this universe is that the Creator of the universe loves us.
