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.
