As we (mainly Julie I must confess) are packing up to move back to Australia I have become very aware of how much stuff we have.
We are not taking any of our furniture, appliances, electricals and still the pile of stuff we are shipping home is getting pretty big. It's not that we are blessed with an abundance of stuff. It's just that even when you are careful about what you buy etc. you still end up with a big pile. I think it only really hits you properly when you have to move it all.
It's all good stuff. We wouldn't keep it if it wasn't because every cubic foot costs us money. However it made me think about the big move that each of us is destined to make back to the home made for us by our Father. All this stuff will stay here. Our paperwork, our favourite (got to get back to spelling in Australian) mementos, the necessary things for daily life and yes even our computers and phones will stay here and we will move on with only that which we were born with plus faith, hope and love. Even two of those things will disappear in the transition.
I am so looking forward to that move. The final move home. No more stuff to move. Maranatha
