There was only one time that I wanted to cry at our auction. We were downsizing from 4,000 sq. ft. to a small apartment of l,200 sq. ft. The time had come when we needed to make a major life change. When our eleven-year-old grandson spotted our oak kitchen table among the things to be auctioned, he exclaimed. “But, MeMee you aren’t selling the kitchen table, are you?”

“Well, Bryce we have to. There isn’t room for it in our little apartment.”

“But MeMee, we’ve made so many memories around that table!”

“We will make memories around a different table,” was my half-hearted reply.

Bryce was right, of course. Memories are treasured things. But we can keep them in our “trunks” even after we move on to make new ones. “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.” (Eccl. 3:3 6b NIV)

Enjoy filling your “memory trunks”,
