117 Friendly Treasures (Lev 27)

It was Donna's birthday today.
There is little else to add to that.
Apart from catching up with some friends.
Good friends.
Friends, who when we talk, it's like we've never been apart.
It's good to have such close friends.
They are a treasure.
No.
They are more than treasure.

Leviticus 27
The end of another book.
For those who aren't aware, that makes 3.
For those who are, bravo. Nice keeping up. Get yourself a smilie sticker from somewhere. :)

It's a confusing way to finish the book for me. What value a person who makes a special vow to the Lord?
The value of buildings or land to be redeemed after dedication?
It became a bit hard at first.
Does it mean that someone can vow to serve God and then buy their way out of this service? Can something promised to God be bought back?
I actually think it's the opposite.
I could be wrong, it has been known to happen, but can the rates be the cost of wanting to serve in the temple?
For those not of the tribe of Levi, those who want to serve, a cost to come into that service.
To serve does cost.
For one who serves others, the serving is of more value whatever that cost.
God treasures those who do serve.
Those who put the good of others ahead of even themselves some times.
It is a hard thing to do.
It has little reward other than the satisfaction in doing it.
There should be more who do it.
And there probably are.

What is interesting, was that just didn't serve with their hands. By their labour.
They gave their property for use by God.
They gave their land.
They gave their means of making a living.

There are many ways to give. Many ways to serve.
All seem effective and usable.
