Ecclesiastes 3
A Time for Everything 1 There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven:
2 a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot,
3 a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build.
I have reached yet another season of life once again reminding me that all of these "things"which surround us daily and consume us at some points in our lives are simply just "stuff"! My mother has decided to move to the village here and sell her home. We have cleaned out her garage and have begun to work on the house. So many memories, thoughts, and emotions have surfaced as we pull yet another box of treasures out to decide who wants this and what do we do with it! I read the a definition of an heirloom: a special treasure which links to a very deep emotional connection to the past. As I look at these "fingerprints of the past" I hope to rejoice and be thankful for the memories and cherish not only the past but look with anticipation to a new season of life and SIMPLIFY!
I decided to hang these doors on my "ugly barns" in the back yard. I think I'll paint sometime and add a few vines. These hung in our house when we moved there when I was in 5th grade but of course mother didn't want them because they looked so old! Ha!
Vintage, antique or junk???? You decide! Ha!
