I have picked up a few small souvenirs from our stay in Europe. I have even sent packages home for family and friends from our travels. As I look at the items I have picked up along the way I remember trips taken, times exploring, new places visited and as time passes I will cherish these memories. These souvenirs and photos taken along the way will trigger memories of places traveled for years to come.
Same thing goes for the small trinkets I have collected over the years to remind me of family. I have some wood pieces my father made, art work my mother painted that made the trip to Germany with us. These too are treasures. And now we are collecting new family treasures. A recording of our granddaughter telling us she loves us, small handprints captured, a blanket from our children, even family photo taken while we have been away but shared with us through technology. These treasures have helped keep us close while being miles away.
We have been blessed with the opportunity to travel and explore. I am thankful for this and so many things the Lords has enabled us to accomplish.
