“Stop collecting treasures for your own benefit on earth, where moth and rust eat them and where thieves break in and steal them. Instead, collect treasures for yourselves in heaven, where moth and rust don’t eat them and where thieves don’t break in and steal them. Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” (Matt 6:21, CEB). 

These are such wise words to consider – the place we put our most valuable treasures and resources, is the place of our hearts, the place we most want to be.  This is true of all our resources – our time, our talents, our prayers, our thoughts, but it is especially true of our money.  Money, whether spent at the grocery store, a doctor’s office, a restaurant, a shopping mall, or online, has a mission – it says something about our values and what’s most important.
