Carrying a lighter load
Thu, 09/08/2022 - 12:00am
Ihave shared in the past that when we bought our home not too long ago we downsized. It’s been a painful process getting rid of things you thought you needed. A few weeks ago we cleaned out a mini-storage unit, you know the kind with the roll up door and a padlock. For almost two years we have been paying $40 a month for storing things we have not used in a million years. A lot of the things we keep are for the 24-yearold who used to live at our house. She’s now a grownup grad student and firstyear second-grade teacher who lives in a tiny studio apartment in the Montrose section of Houston. We love her but she has been advised that we can only keep her high school memories for so long. A wise pastor told me once, “Ken, everything has a shelf life.” This man was so right! When I found out you can only keep the things your 38-year-old oldest son (the Presbyterian pastor) made out of construction paper and crayons in kindergarten for so long I found freedom.
