TREASURE HUNTING


David and I went to an estate sale this morning. Boring... I know, but we just love looking for treasures. David found a tool of some sort that guarantees you will drill perfectly straight holes in your woodworking projects. He does not have any woodworking projects and I can't remember the last time he needed to drill holes in anything, but nevertheless, if the need arises, we are ready!

Going through the things that are part of an estate sale always make me pause and wonder what will be left of David and I when God moves us to our eternal address. (After moving twice in the last two years, Praise God, He will be doing the relocating for us!) We don't have things of great value that will attract antique dealers. Our treasures have more to do with memories and the people who created them. I so hope what we leave behind will not be things, but will be legacies that our children and grandchildren will always be able to treasure. I pray they will clearly see a lifeline to Jesus and all He blessed the Haines' with. I will be delighted if they remember they laughed their heads off at the antics of their Mom and Dad. I will truly be blessed if they will remember they come from a long line of love, committment and grace.

So years from now, when the time comes for Jeremy and Jordan to sort through everything, hopefully memories will fill the biggest boxes. Of course, if memories are not enough to treasure, there's always that drill press!
