Boxes, boxes, boxes

Today I spent a couple of hours sorting through boxes. Some I haven't opened for at least ethe 9 years we have lived in this house. I am aiming to avoid featuring on a episode of "Hoarders". I am gradually filling our recycling bin and creating a pile of things to give away. In amongst it all I have found some gems.

1. A locket that I recieved when I was confirmed at 13
2. The "key" that was signed at my 21st birthday party

Mostly it is just stuff but I surprise myself sometimes at how tightly I hang on to the things of this world.  I need to remind myself that my heavenly home will have all I need and that I don't need to keep everything here.
