Moving on

Last week I went with my parents to view a house which they are planning to move into. Later that afternoon, I spent some time poking into drawers, corners and envelopes filled with years full of stuff. I sorted through and threw away many of the artifacts of my past. Some other things need to be kept and treasured.

As I read some of the letters and looked at some old photos, I compared my life now with what it was then. How it has changed.

One day of slowing down and handling both types of artifacts forced me to reflect on the various seasons of my life. Maybe we shouldn't wait for a move to do that.
