Today is .   Another great day with Roxaboxen today.  Today we had a special visitor to our town of Roxaboxen.    We headed outside to our tree house for our 2nd reading of this book.  Jesse Bear joined us.  Prior to our reading time, I went outside and buried three "treasures".  The children found all three treasures and then we took time to discuss them.

1.  acorns -- could be used for our town money.  This "money" is only found during one time of year though so that can makes times in this town hard if you don't manage wisely.  

2.  a container with quarters -- they decided they could save it, buy something or share it. 

3.  a note that says "Jesus Loves You". 

We then talked about if and how these "treasures" would help other people.  We also focused on Matthew 6:19 - 20

¹⁹ “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; ²⁰ but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal.

Then we spent the majority of our time on Matthew 6:21

²¹ For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

We compared our three "buried treasures" to this verse and discussed what the best treasure of all is and what seemingly appeared to be a worthless piece of paper ended up really being our best buried treasure for it can lead to ever lasting life. 

A truly great time in our town again today. 

The children are all outside enjoying their town right now and they decided they could name their town Rocksaboxen since they are using a lot of rocks. 

And this  is for my husband in case you make it over here to read today.
