Jenny was a bright-eyed, pretty five-year-old girl. One day when she and her mother were checking out at the grocery store, Jenny saw a plastic pearl necklace priced at $2.50. How she wanted that necklace, and when she asked her mother if she would buy it for her, her mother said, "Well, it is a pretty necklace, but it costs an awful lot of money.
Dear Friends,
O.K. I confess I'm taking a break from blogging right now while I work on a retreat ministry opportunity....so I'm reblogging this wonderful story I hope you will read.
Prayer: Lord, help us to let go of the fake in our lives, so we can embrace the real treasures you have to offer us.
Love this, Glenda — I shared the Jennie story at the retreat I did a few months back, Pearl of Great Price . . . the ladies loved this sweet story! Thank you for posting while working on your event!
Verna,
The story must have been perfect for your theme for the retreat. Thanks for stopping by and sharing.
I’ve heard/read this story before, and I love it!
This was the first time I read the story and had to share it..It is beautiful. Thanks for stopping by Vonda!
Praying for your retreat, Glenda. Hope you’re getting some good ideas!
Thank you Susan…prayer is so important. Yes, the Lord is giving me much material…now I need to condense it…and trust His Spirit to bring out the treasures He’s given me at the right time.
