Treasures in Heaven

I was pondering the scripture in Matthew 6:19-21, "Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:  But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:  For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."

I made a list of things I could think of that money cannot buy-

Relationship with Jesus Christ
Integrity
Faith
Character
Virtue
Relationships
Knowledge
Experience
Time
Talent
Work Ethic
Love
Forgiveness
Charity
Friendship
Peace
Covenants
Obedience
Testimony
Conversion
Worthiness
Companionship of Holy Ghost
Joy
Eternal Marriage
Family
Hope
Spiritual Gifts

I am certain there are many more, but looking at this list makes me feel like money is such a distraction from these "weightier matters"!
