Description

Unseen treasures belong to everyone. However, not everyone perceives or embraces them. It is an unfolding lifelong challenge, one that we observe in Liz's life.

Sometimes it is in some of our darkest moments that we realize what is not dark. Sometimes we don't see or appreciate the light of the treasures right in front of us. It is challenging for most of us to stay motivated to learn the lessons of our pain and our choices, let alone navigate the challenges of the treasures.

Being a quiet distributor of unseen treasures in the lives of others is a gift -- for both the giver and the given. Often it is later in life that we begin to appreciate the process that our lives are unfolding and we have opportunities every day to recognize and provide treasures. It is our way of connecting and contributing to other humans in our world.

Dr. Sten and Father Sam became very significant treasures in the life of Liz. They were the treasures that helped her survive the agony of her life. She didn't make it easy for either of them, yet they hung in there and continued to chip away at her severe and powerful demons.

Treasure givers are people who understand the value of the gift, no matter when, if or how it may or may not be received.

It is what it is. Life and treasures have so much to teach us if we're open to learning the lessons.

A teachable spirit is a treasure in itself.
