I saw hints of this when we downsized. Either find a place in the new location or at the curb. We enjoyed the latter as we watched people open their trunk and fill it.

It read - Grandpa's are just antique little boys. I loved that because to her young heart - her grandpa was (is) priceless. It is sort of sad that solid, well made, lovingly created treasured items don't hold the same worth today as the 'disposables' as you say. In one way, maybe it's not so hard to let go, then. But when you liken this to the faith community it sets me to praying. There are some things we need to value no matter what; the Word of God. The grace of the Lord. the joy of Jesus; the message of the cross; the glory of the resurrection. Now those are our true treasures. Thanks, Peter, for so eloquently putting this all into perspective. <br />Glynishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15621548333351709607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6213977381458736343.post-63649684293533639242015-03-14T07:47:29.747-04:002015-03-14T07:47:29.747-04:00

Although we have quite a combination of furniture, read wood and not, I still like the texture and shine of the real thing. It has character, just as the story and lessons offer.Carolyn R.

(I knew they were real, of course.) <br />Onyhoo, I was hoping to see the couple today at a community Lenten service, to tell them how their story inspired me, but I missed seeing them. Maybe later.

We have found that cheaper furniture breaks and yes it is throw away. <br /><br />I love your analogy. And yes are people throwing away the lessons they learned as children? Are they turning away from the truth in scripture?<br />Blessings,<br />JanisJanis Coxhttp://www.janiscox.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6213977381458736343.post-66151819741138127022015-03-02T15:06:18.013-05:002015-03-02T15:06:18.013-05:00Jesus and the gospel message are the pearl of grea...Jesus and the gospel message are the pearl of great price that is undervalued and overlooked by many, but it is worth all that we have or ever will have.David Kitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12287700314450750680noreply@blogger.com
