Trunk..2..

 My trunk …2…

I finished lining the trunk drawer with some upholstery fabric and braids then more Modge Podge…the pictures in lid are the original ones as far as I can tell…

I keep thinking about the age, 160+ years, each time I work on it…the creator of the trunk, the users, etc…all long gone, but did they ever think about the future users…did they wonder what their descendants would be like, what they would do, where they would live….the ones who used this one settled in Nebraska to farm those many years ago, some later moving to Ontario, California to plant orange orchards…then some to central California to rise cattle…(my father told of stories as a young adventurous boy, throwing rotten oranges at passing cars until his father found he and his brothers, they never did it again)…

 Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love,that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days. 

Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us,for as many years as we have seen trouble. 

May your deeds be shown to your servants,your splendor to their children.

Ps.90.14-16

Some of our days are definitely “glad” days while others are definitely “afflicted “…

And we are to thank Him for each one…”in everything give thanks”…

Thank YOU….

Satisfy us with your love…
