Trey treasured his, "Taggie". Jay and Rachel kept close tabs on that blanket, making sure it was never lost or forgotten.
But have you ever checked out the Lost and Found Table at school or church? Typically, by this time of year, there are a dozen winter coats, toys, water bottles, and even shoes! How do these families function without their favorite - and basic - necessities!?
Maybe they are too busy to realize that these things are lost.
Or they don't even realize they ever had them.
Or they have too many things to even miss them.
Is a relationship with Jesus among your Lost and Found items? Have you gotten too busy to realize your time spent with Him is lost? Do you have too many other "things" in your life, crowding out time in the Bible, time with Godly people, time in prayer?
Imagine the joy of a child (or parent) when the favorite item is found! :) A new priority is set in order to never ever lose that item again.
"Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’ I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent." Luke 15:5-7
