Cherish the Treasures

According to Merriam-Webster, treasure is defined as wealth of any kind or any form; something of great worth or value; or a collection of precious things. God has given us treasures in the form of money, our country, and our planet. SchoolhouseTeachers.com has courses that help us cherish these treasures.
