What Is It You Treasure Most?

Certainly we all have different thoughts on this. I was just reading of some things that will be auctioned on the 22nd from the Titanic. A letter from a survivor hand written caught my interest. Although they were thankful to be among the first rescuced, later in the letter mentioned an investment doing well. Seems even though they were alive and doing well, I found them untouched by the death of so many. My heart says "how can this be?" Do we not care for the suffering of others? Do we only think"'I'm doing well"? Sure I'm glad you are, if you are. Something inside of me cares, gives hope, and prays for those less fortunate. There is a phase I hear quoted less and less these days " There but for the grace of God, go I". When you tell me of all your treasures laid up on earth, it doesn't impress me at all, in fact, I wonder how much it could be doing for the Lord. Back to my question"What Is It You Treasure Most?"

Trying to get a "grip"!

Just what does that mean to each of us? Is it something to do with our health, finances, friendships, perhaps anything to help us feel more stable in our ever changing world. Those changes come daily, so we more or less, have to be able to change with them. Very hard, sometimes more than others. When we are told new medicines we need to take just to try and preserve what is fast fading from our lives, it is hard to think about, but as we age those are changing times, too. Did we as young people ever give serious thought that someday it would happen? More than likely, most didn't. Now we are faced with as many or perhaps more challenges than we ever envisioned. It becomes more and more important that we make wise decisions in all the things not thought of in our earlier years. Be thankful when someone offers help in helping you get a "grip", it can be priceless. Remember above all, Our heavenly Father will never leave you without HOPE in all things.

Fall Already!

Makes me feel like a "rip van winkle" person! Summer is gone, once again and we are beginning to see the colors of fall fast approaching and falling leaves. It is beautiful, although we may soon long for the warmth of summer days soon. The town I live in has some streets that have beautiful old trees that show a lot of color in the fall season. I always enjoy slowly driving down the bumpy brick street and admiring the neatly kept homes. Brings to wonder about the families that lived there a century ago. Who were they? What things they may have enjoyed? Did they ever think someone might one day think of them? What were they most concerned about? I'm sure many were affluent people, and probably passed down to younger generations many ideas. If you live in an old house, as I do, do you wonder these things? Makes me wonder just what can I pass to my only living heir, a grand daughter. Will she even care? A lot of questions I have, and no answers. I've put together all the genealogy on my and my deceased husbands family I can find for her. I want her to know who she is, and  that I love her with all of my heart. Yes, God loves her even more.
