God is SO good! He has allowed us to stay at a friend's place during this interim before leaving and after selling our home. A further blessing is that many of you have offered a room or part of your home to us & we feel SO blessed. Thank you, Thank you, Thank You!
So, here we are - further eliminating "stuff" out of our lives. We thought we had everything fairly pared down, until we moved! Papers are the bane of our existence, I think! We all ready have shredded a 55gal container of papers just since moving a week ago. More to come, oh joy!
We were at Bible Study last night & they were talking about meeting during the holidays. I looked at my calendar to see if there would be a conflict - and there is only two weeks till Christmas!(approximately) Where did the time go? Then I thought, "Oh wow! That means we get to leave sooner! Hooray!
Sometimes it feels like we are Joseph and Mary as we embark on this journey with not a lot of accoutrements (for Americans). We have been discovering the freedom this allows to be more and more unencumbered. Jesus came down from Heaven FOR US - imagine what He could have brought with Him, yet chose not to. Yes, some women would argue that He was a man, and they tend to travel more lightly. When I try to wrap my mind around the thought of the GLORY of Heaven, and the SPLENDOR of lights, colors, voices, JOY of those there, and the WORSHIP that continuously goes on - then I am reminded of the sacrifice Jesus chose to make for our sakes in coming as a humble king to this earth. This earth is just a minute detail of beauty compared to the majesty of Heaven. Maybe that was a greater sacrifice than even the cross?
