As humans we somehow accumulate alot of stuff. The funny ironic thing is that when we go home to heaven all of our stuff stays behind for your loved ones to take care of, discard or sell it.
When we are young, the world teaches us that the people with all the cool stuff are the people we want to hang with or we wish we could be like. Stuff accumulates through the years, before you know it your life is filled with "stuff".
I learned early on that I did not want to be a hoarder. Even though, I have a tendency to throw away quicker than I am to keep, I look around and I recognize that if I were to die tomorrow there is still is lots of "stuff" that my family members will have to deal with.
My husband was well aware that he had so much stuff. He was the most gracious man that I had ever met. He did not take for granted anything that was given to him. Some of the last conversations that I remember having with him were about how he could not believe the amount of tools he had and along with the many other things that he had possession of.....Ford truck, a John Deere riding lawn mower, and the multiple rifles and handguns. He always felt that the Lord blessed him with a very wealthy life.
I never doubted that we were blessed. I still know that at present tine, I am very blessed by Jesus. However, I am currently faced with dealing with all the things or stuff that I have no use for because he is not here on earth anymore.
Selling or giving away his possessions hurts for some reason. I know Buck would want his tools to be sold or given to someone who truly cherished it the way he did. The process of the transaction is the part that sucks. Nobody wants to know the true story behind the sale, they that just want to chew you down even though they know they are getting a sweet deal already.
I don't even know what the main point of this entry really is; only that this is the season that I am currently in. Does not make me feel comfortable. I pray lots for protection and wisdom through these various transactions. I just hope that I am doing the right thing.
Lord willing, I will get all his stuff taken care of eventually. I miss him so much.
