What is your most valuable possession? Give it away.

‘Give freely and become more wealthy; be stingy and lose everything.’ Proverbs 11:24 NLT

What is your most valued possession?

  • A diamond ring?
  • A watch?
  • A t-shirt

What would you do if I, a stranger perhaps from a strange land, came up to you and complimented you on the watch you are wearing.

What if I said, “Hey, I love your watch it looks great on your wrist. Is it a Rolex Submariner? What can you tell me about it?

I am guessing that you would be want to be shy about it, but if you are like me your pride and confidence would overcome your fears and you would tell me about your prized possession.

You would explain the precision, beauty and accuracy of its internal works. You may even show me how the winding crown screws down to aid in the protection of the inner works to ocean depths down to 300 meters.

You would show me how the stainless steel band, not only looks great on your wrist but feels so comfortable you can wear it every day. And, you may demonstrate how the bracelet locks securely to insure that even in the depths of the ocean or surfing you are confident that the your timepiece will remain your companion.
