So, one suitcase to leave behind and one suitcase for all my stuff. I keep looking at all the stuff thinking can I leave this behind? How about this? How important is this too me? I remember the people who gave me the items; a bear from Alan (not to leave), a towel purchased for a trip to the beach (that will stay), T-shirts from the blood bank (those will stay). I’ve attached way too much sentimentality to my things. They are just items and in truth everything could be left behind. Sure I’d miss the clothes, the teapot, the special pillow, but they can be replaced. The things that truly matter, my husband, my family, my friends, can’t ever be left behind – not when they live in my heart. I do hope I learn to leave behind my preconceived notions. I do hope that I take with me a sense of God’s peace and love. Pray for us.
