A Home Filled With Treasure
We're moving and I have found myself grieving as I pack. This was the first home we ever bought. We've lived here for over ten years. Our oldest daughter was a toddler when we moved in and the house was so empty back then. We'd moved here from a one bedroom apartment before that, so we didn't have much. I can remember how her footsteps echoed through the empty spaces. We've had our two other daughters since then, and so we've really built our family in this place. And now, we certainly have a lot more stuff! I was packing up our classroom today, where I spent a lot of my time, and I was tucking all my favorite things into a box, feeling joy over each thing, and remembering how I came by them, and these verses went through my mind: By wisdom a house is built, and through understanding it is established; through knowledge its rooms are filled with rare and beautiful treasures. -Proverbs 24:3-4 I closed my eyes and agreed with the Spirit of God
