I have never buried money. There is no gold in my back yard or maps with X marking the spot anywhere in my house. The very idea of burying money seems really strange to me. Money is a tool. It is meant to be spent, invested, donated, exchanged, saved etc. It is not meant to be dormant. Money is meant to be used and useful. Consider this the next time you read the parable of the talents (Matthew 25:14-30). The boss is angry when he returns to find that one of his servants buried his money instead of using it.
There are so many things that we have been given that we overlook. All the readers of this blog who I know have at least average (or above) intelligence, have no physical handicaps, have a home and family, etc. These very basic things are so easily taken for granted- so easily buried. Many of us have been lied to and believe that there is nothing we are unable to do anything of significance in this world. But, you do have something to offer.
All too often the blessing you have get buried. These things get lost in the midst of media noise, business, or lies. Choosing to veg instead of putting talents to use. Believing that you have no talents. Or being too caught up in lesser activities.
Get out the shovel, uncover your talents (no matter how small) and put them to use. This is why they were given to you in the first place.
