Dining Room Boxes |
So each box gets emptied and placed where it is supposed to be. I think that the boxes have multiplied since we packed them in MN. How that happens is not known to me but it just seems that way. So, we needed to upgrade our storage potential by putting up more shelves. I am unsure whether this is good since that just means we can accumulate more stuff that we don't need. But there is joy in seeing items come from boxes that used to be part of everyday life and have been missed.
This entire process reminds me of when I first came to know Jesus. The first few months were a wonderful time of adventure. God was unpacking the various areas (boxes) of my life and determining where they fit into the life we lived together. We looked at the big issues like my music, my relationships, my parties, even my ethics. We looked at small issues too. It is difficult to put into words how each day was a joy to unwrap. Life was much more simple then.
To paraphrase Ecclesiastes, "Of the unpacking of boxes there is no end." Today, there are many more areas to unpack and not every "box" fits nicely into my life. The boxes are usually the same with minor variations but I have become better at unpacking them. The more unpacking I do with Jesus, the better I get at knowing where things fit if they do at all. It continues to be a joy to unpack an area of my life and figure out where it fits into my life with Jesus. It is all the process of getting settled with Jesus.
