” Don’t hold very tightly onto your stuff. “
Something’s going on in my brain.
It’s churning.

Well, I’m still working through feelings from experiencing the death of my mom [in-law]. So last week I went to church and the Pastor was talking about storing up treasures here on earth –vs– storing up treasures in heaven.
My mom [in-law] coveted a lot of “stuff”. I mean A LOT of stuff ! She only occupied two rooms in our house, but the rooms were packed.
Then she died.
And where did all this stuff she so coveted go? Some to charity; a few small things to relatives; and much, much, much – to the trash heap. Of all the money she had, she was not able to take even one penny with her. .. Nothing! .. She wasn’t even able to take with her – the shirt she was wearing when she died.
It was a lesson I hope I’ll never forget. There was something [?] about this that hit me, and hit me <hard> smack-dab in the face – putting the sermon and this experience I’ve had – together… Woe!

I hope I have communicated well enough what I what’s been given to me about this. If there are parts missing, or parts that don’t make sense, please ask Him about this. I know He will fill in any gaps in understanding – in mine or in yours. What do you think? I’m open to any input about what has been revealed to you in this.

Bless your heart, Robin! I am so sorry for your pain, but so glad you are looking for opportunities to perfect yourself in it.
Spot on! Thank you for the excellent reminder!
We learned a little about this fact when we moved and didn’t have room for a lot of stuff we kept for ‘I don’t know what reason’ … but truly they are material things and it’s the relationships that matter the most….Diane
Hi Robin,
I’m sorry I’ve not been around much, from my few posts over the last 12 days, I just like you have struggled with the passing of a loved one, mainly with my own guilt, today is the funeral, hopefully I can say goodbye and move on, as I’m sure my Nan would want me to.
It was my daughters 7th birthday last Saturday, my Mum gave me an envelope from Nan for Eve, not a birthday present, just one of her possessions, a ring. Eve didn’t really understand it’s worth, not monetary, but it’s significance, which hit me too, right in the face.
I have my memories of my Nan, for me that’s all I need, I’ll possess them forever & those are the one possession I can take with me. As I’m sure my Nan will take memories of me with her too.
God bless you my fantastic friend.
