My sister sent this to me and I thought I would pass it along...
"While God was creating the universe, He called upon an angel, telling the angel that He had one last job to do. The angel was to help God hide the most precious gift- lasting peace and joy. This is the treasure of life. 'Because this treasure is valuable beyond description I want you to hide it so that humans will know its value to be immeasurable when it is found.' So, the angel thought of several places: the highest mountain, the great desert wilderness, the vast reaches of the universe. But, God was not satisfied. All of these felt like places where the treasure would be too easily found. Finally, with a flash of inspiration, the Creator said: 'Hide the treasure of life within the human being. He will look there last and, when he finally finds it, he will know how precious this treasure truly is.'"
