Hidden Treasure
Sometimes we hang on to things far longer than we should... hurt, anger, stuff.
Sometimes we let go of things we shouldn't... friendships, peace, that antique toy that is probably now worth oodles of money.
Sometimes we get lucky and find hidden treasure... memories, love, the unexpected.
This time, I found something even greater. Pictures of my mother and her parents and other family members. In a trunk, in the dust, in her garage.
What a true gift, memories from the past. Photos that show how much my mother looked like her mother and even some old sheet music that was lovingly played by one of them. These are the things that if we are lucky, we find. And whether we have the room or not, hold on to them forever.

Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young—
a place near Your altar, LORD Almighty, my King and my God. ♥ Psalm 84:3
