Home from home, I’m happy to have had a good trip north to home – working again up at the family farmhouse sorting stuff… Got to the recycling center. It is 100 years accumulation, happy to sort, happy to have this time now for the time being. I know that the Lord helps me appreciate His help!!!

Weather was nice and cool for sorting and nice rain for keeping pollen low!

I also appreciate the old writing and photos,  correspondence and collectibles which would have come in the 1920’s and 1930’s. An old typewriter, clothes, tools, magazines, etc. There is a tea towel which says “Sea to sea I will not find anyone like you, my home.” Translation so quick that I can send a message overseas to my generation of cousins – we are connected from great grandparents who were siblings. We had a 50 year gap in time of lost connection, now we reconnect in love.

I’m back home south now. Today we have a FULL subaru of goods that my aunt allowed me to remove to sell at a local flea market then donate, and I plan to give her the money… We are stewards of trust, of stuff that WILL rust into dust. So we best de-fluff… but keep the love while donning your cleaning gloves…

As for a scripture connection, let us know that we are treasures to God. Jesus said: “Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.” Matthew 10:29-31 NKJV 

As for cleaning, Jesus reminds us that everything will crumble, but not love. Let us love intently and intensely and intentionally. Let us love and live.

Let us live the love we were gifted.

Amen
