Day 79

This tea set if of significance to my sweet wife Collette. When she was a girl of 8 or 9 she would visit her paternal grandmother. Tea was of great importance to her grandmother so she acquired this smaller set which is a near duplicate of her own except smaller. The larger cup in front was from her grandmother's set. The other pieces are the duplicate. Even though these are inanimate objects, they bring back many wonderful memories for her. After all that's what it's all about isn't it?  We can't take things with us, just who we are, our intellect, our emotions, our friendships, our loves. What kind of kingdom are you building up? What are you striving to accomplish? What will be your legacy? All questions I ponder from time to time. What kind of kingdom will you build. "For in my Father's house are many mansions...". I think perhaps if you build up the "right" things here and now you can live in one of those mansions.  Just something to ponder.
