Treasures

What are treasures? I went to Google & found these definitions, among others:

• treasure - accumulated wealth in the form of money or jewels etc.
• treasure - any possession that is highly valued by its owner; "the children returned from the seashore with their shells and other treasures" 
• treasure - a collection of precious things; "the trunk held all her meager treasures"

I also found a cool blog named Rachel's Latter-day Saints Blog with an entry titled What Are Treasures in Heaven? I would like to read this & other entries in the blog, but don't have time tonight.

Readthescriptures dot com has taken another snippet of Elder Oaks' conference address from General Conference 1993:

"The Savior taught that we should not lay up treasures on earth but should lay up treasures in heaven (see Matt. 6:19-21). In light of the ultimate purpose of the great plan of happiness, I believe that the ultimate treasures on earth and in heaven are our children and our posterity."

--Elder Dallin H. Oaks, "The Great Plan of Happiness", Ensign, Nov. 1993, 75

And it still bothers me. What happens if you don't have children or have just one or two children? One of Mother's friends was always bragging about how many grandchildren she had, which I thought was quite insensitive, especially when Mother only has 2 & she's mighty lucky to have those.

Elder DeHaan's conference address was a repeat from Never simply temporal. And seems to go hand in hand with tonight's quote.
