Hello Everyone,

Well, it’s the week before my next spring event. And this is what I feel like at the thought of opening back up again.

I’ve been working tirelessly this past week getting lots of florals ready as well as receiving new products. The products keep coming in, yet there are still a lot of products, they tell me, that haven’t even arrived to their warehouse yet. So, I’m looking forward to that happening.

This last week I’ve been in my workroom downstairs working away, while my house is being remodeled above me. I must say, the mess was horrendous and the noise was equally so. In the process I had to clean so many little things around the house in order to place them in their proper place when the project was done.

I discovered something about myself during this time. So many items that had been on shelves gathering dust I had forgotten about their meaning. And as I was trying to sort through the treasures that were no longer treasures to me, I realized something. I no longer wanted to keep the items that didn’t hold sentimental value. And it was amazing to me how sentimental I had become.

It was so good to hold things in my hands again and clean the dust off of them. As I held them in my hands again I thought about who had given me these items and for what reason they had been gifted to me. Some were Christmas items, birthday, anniversary and on and on. But you know, it wasn’t really the item that was the treasure. It was the memory of the person that had entrusted me with that treasure. And I cherish even the thoughts of where we’d been since we gave each other those gifts. Could it have been 25 years ago since my husband had given me this pitcher for our 25th wedding anniversary?

To think of all we had been through even since these little treasures had made their way into my heart and home, made me so grateful for all the people that the Lord has brought into my life. You know, it is really the people who are the treasures and not the gift. But, it is the gift that makes the treasure come alive again in our hearts.

So today, maybe that little gift you give to someone might seem small to you, but it could be big in someone else’s life. I heard this quote from a man the other day. “You may be too big for God to use, but never think you are too small for God to use.”

May you be blessed this coming spring and summer as you make memories with your family and friends. And remember that even the tiniest things may rekindle a huge memory.
