Packing for a wonderful future

So, sometimes the steps to our dreams are not nearly as exciting as the dreams themselves. I started packing up some of the back rooms today. Here's what our family room looks like now...lots of boxes, lots of labels...a heart that is sad to leave a home we've loved for 25 years and a heart that rejoices in the laughter/memories/experiences/potential of the future. Almost every box has some tear stains on it, but my wise mother taught me never to love anything that can not love you back. So I remind myself that it is not this house that I love, it is the family that has lived within it...and they will be with us in our new home. To everything there is a season...this is my season for boxes, newspaper, markers and packing tape! To God Be the Glory!

Sometimes reality is oh-so much fun! This is our new reality...our future home and sometimes we pinch ourselves to think that we will be spending the latter years of our life in such beauty. OK...it's not such beauty now, but the picture in my mind is beautiful.. And, as Mary Kay Ash said...What the mind can conceive, with work we can achieve. We are achieving our dream!
