House guests!

What an awesome night.  Our dinner guests, both in their 80's, treated us to family stories loaded with things I had never heard.  These two could have their own stand-up show and kill people with their impeccable timing and delivery.  These are the true treasures God had placed in our lives.  Treasures will never be contained in wood, gems or metal, they are the people we love and are loved by.  When you get beat up by tragic loss, you tend to withdraw from these treasures because you can't bear the thought of them being taken away.  The withdrawal is deadly because you stop living, engaging, laughing, saying what's on your heart, embracing, appreciating...etc.

Thank you Lord God for the many many treasures in my life.
