A NEW WEEK

• I have had a good week
• keeping my peace with hope
• but peace is not with out sorrow
• I went up stairs this week and began
• to take papa hubby's world on earth
• apart-
• this is difficult as he was such a hobby man
• wood work - hockey cards- comic books- rocks
• and anything else that took up his time
• plus a lot of etc. :-)
• he enjoyed these things and also was a keeper
• and it is difficult to sort through his treasures
• and decide what to toss and what to keep and
• what to give away-
• He made beautiful diamond willow walking sticks
• and canes from scratch- he cut the trees -dried them
• and peeled the bark and etc- it is quite an interesting
• hobby and requires hard work and patience--
• the cancer came so fast and so hard that he
• never had the time to organize or clean up his things
• and he fussed about that but I assured that all
• was well and that I could do it for him later
• it is later now and he no longer has need of
• his earth treasures but I am glad that he had them
• he used to drink in bars and was a bit on the wild side
• and then in 1972 he came home and said that he
• was not going to drink anymore as he could see how it
• was hurting me and he never did!!
• he just quit and asked
• God to replace his alcohol with something else and
• God did and He gave papa hubby a love for nature -
• He could find pictures in rocks and wood-
• He make rings and things with the rocks after
• he cut them and polished them and
• he just knew how to pick out the art of God
• so now as I go through his things I find treasures too
• a lot I will give to family members- no matter the value
• things are things on earth and heaven is coming
• I think of being on this side of heaven and papa
• hubby is on the other side and our love
• is eternal-
• what a wonderful thing to know the plans that
• God has for each us-
