Life's Lessons

As I returned from exercise class last week, I found Dwight standing in the middle of the kitchen with a pile of broken dishes at his feet. I didn't break out in uncontrolable tears.   My first thought was, "There has to be a life lesson here."  I soon found out that a small plastic peg that held up the shelf had given way and the crash came.  I looked at the broken pieces of my Nortake china,, and I  thanked the Lord for the many times I was able to feed my family and guests from these beautiful dishes. They were all wedding and shower gifts.  I wonder how many times they were washed and dried in 47 years.  

There are a few pieces left plus the dinner plates that were on the bottom shelf.  When considering "down sizing", I guess this circumstance helps that outcome.

This life lesson brings to mind the fact that our most valuable possession is our soul.  I am thankful for the hope of eternal life.  So today as we sang in church , " then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee,  How Great THOU Art" this life lesson is a blessing.
