Where Are My Treasures?

Today I have to go to my parents' house and help them decide what "stuff" they will take with them to assisted living.  Of course they will "need" some things just to live, but they will also "need" some things just to make them feel at home.  They won't be able to take very much, so this is difficult.  I want them to be comfortable and to feel at home, but truthfully wherever they are together should be "home" for them.

The bottom line is - wherever your family is, that is home.  Things don't make a home.  People and family make a home.  Memories and photos of loved ones make a home.  Friends and family that visit make a home.  I am thankful that they still have each other and they both love the Lord.  The three of them should be right at home no matter where they "live."

"But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break though nor steal."  Matthew 6:20
