Sightings.....

It is fun going from house to house of my children...
1. To see everyone
2. Fun to see memories........

These past few years of downsizing for their grandparents, parents, themselves, choosing things that are part of their growing ups years, their lives, their memories and mine as well...

A cowboy hat, a spoon rack, quilts, pieces of crystal, paintings, a famed Gregorian chant, a table, chair, plates, bookcase, a quilt of handkerchiefs, a coat, jacket, books, pictures, pairs of socks, and so much more.....they have memories for me, different one for them....

I know it is all just "stuff", some with no monetary value at all, but pieces of life, minute in eternal time, but important In this realm..not to worship but to hold dear those years of memories...it is like burrowing down in a feather comforter with a cup of hot chocolate,,,  reminiscing...values, lessons taught and learned, a trip, a laugh, a joke, a time, a story,  a smell, a place, a smile...all wrapped into a big ball of life ......

What love, what wonders our families are...thank you, Father, for those in abundance....



Deuteronomy 4:8-9
New International Version (NIV)
8 And what other nation is so great as to have such righteous decrees and laws as this body of laws I am setting before you today?

9 Only be careful, and watch yourselves closely so that you do not forget the things your eyes have seen or let them fade from your heart as long as you live. Teach them to your children and to their children after them.


Deuteronomy 8:2
Remember how the Lord your God led you all the way in the wilderness these forty years, to humble and test you in order to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep his commands.
