Have you ever fantasized about finding a treasure?

I had two boyhood friends who lived across the street from a tavern.  There was a ravine not far from their house where the drunks would sleep it off.  One day we were walking up the ravine when we spotted a shiny coin.  All three of us dropped to the ground and began digging up a treasure of nickels, dimes and quarters that had fallen out of the drunks' pockets.

We would go back to that ravine many times hoping for a similar strike of wealth.  It never happened again.

How much of today are you wasting trying to recreate the past?  Solomon wrote, "To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven" (Ecclesiastes 3:1).  Don't waste today trying to recreate the good old days.  You can spend the rest of your life looking down at the ground for nickels and dimes and miss a hundred priceless moments.
