emptyings

 

This is my mom and dad

standing in front of their almost complete new house on

Summer Winds.

1994

I think it was.

 

I don't know that there has ever been any

two happier people

than they were on that day.

 

Tomorrow my sister Teri is coming

and by Saturday afternoon

we hope to have most of it empty.

 

All that we work for and accumulate

in the course of a lifetime

is left behind

when it is our time to leave this earth.

 

Truthfully,

We cannot take it with us.

Not one single thing on this planet

 has any significance

when we come to die.

 

The only thing that matters on that day

is that we have trusted in

 Jesus Christ

for our salvation

 

We take that with us,

and when we bow before Him

our faith in His work on the cross is all we have to offer.

 

So....hard work,

exhausting days of labor,

emptying out the house that is no longer needed.

Sobering work to be sure.

 

Thankful for Jesus,

thankful for the blood He shed on my behalf

and yours.
