Moving On . . .

     Recently, we moved to a new home.

We boxed our treasures and dear friends packed them into large vehicles, which took them to a preplanned location.
Now .. we are unpacked, treasures and us in place in our new, comfortable little home.

A few days before our move, my mother also packed her treasures into boxes, and left the great state of New Jersey, where we all grew up, and moved to PA, 

closing an era for us all.

How strange, 
                     our center, our 'home-base' .. gone.

And . . we adjust and move on.

Mom is also wonderfully happy and settled in her new home.

     With both of our moves, we had time . .

Time to plan, to discard, to organize, to pack, to lease, to say goodbye . .

to unload, to arrange, to settle in.

We carried our treasures with us.

Today, I remember -

     the thousands in Syria, and in Iraq . . .whose unplanned moves have been forced;

whose treasures were all left behind

who had no idea where they'd go, where they would end up and for how long;

who still have no idea what lies ahead.

 . . who are trying to trust in Him for the answers, to everything!

Join me, please, in praying for them in their uncertain journeys,

and for their safety and provision, their strengthening and that during this time, they may find the greatest of treasures in His love, and care.
