This morning when I was
checking my Facebook page, I came across a post from my cousin in CT. She
had posted about an Antique shop in Delaware. I couldn't believe my eyes
because I had taught the owner of that shop in the third grade in Wilmington!
She had put up pictures of his shop and they brought me back 50 years to our
own living room. My mother was an antique buff and our house was filled
with marble top tables, antique furniture, and hurricane lamps which my dad
collected. My cousin's mom was also an antique buff and often went off on a
search with mom. What is the point of this? As I was looking at the
pictures, I realized how beautiful and valuable these old pieces can be. So
too, are the elderly who are so often forgotten and neglected. Many have no one
to call their own but need to be cherished. Take some time to bask in the
beauty of the old and valuable persons and things in your own life. May
you have a blessed weekend.
