I’m in the final steps of leaving the country and have been liquidating all my possessions but for a few suitcases and boxes, particularly the past two months. I’ve jokingly told family this is like having an estate sale and I’m the deceased. I’ve literally given away so many things that have some personal meaning as well as a lot of junk I’ll never miss.
What’s liberating is two things - 1) from here on, I won’t be dragged down by tons of possessions, especially furniture, clothes and vehicles and 2) when my time does come, I’ve made it a heck of lot easier for my executor.
I remember Jesus’ words about giving up everything to come follow Him and it does feel very real at times. I’m not unhappy though. So many of these things I can live without.
We took several truck loads of my grandparents things to the VFW thrift store. That night the place burned. Sad ending to it all.
Where are you going?
