We hold certain things precious and dear.  In order to protect those items, we say to our young children, “No! Don’t touch.”  My mother taught me to respect other people’s property and I wanted to teach my children the same lesson.  A greater gift happened for me while teaching this lesson.  I learned that while I was sharing my treasures with my children, I was enjoying the precious time spent with each child, the undivided attention and love. Sharing precious treasures turned into precious time creating precious memories.  Those memories are the real treasure!
