Family Treasures-Ephemera

In the corner of a room is a showcase received from a library rummage sale. It's being utilized differently than its original purpose for the public. It is now very much a family focus. On top of the case are two pairs of small shoes originally purchased some 40 years ago for our sons who are now 42 and 46. Three garments hang inside this glass enclosure. First, our daughter who is 50, has a high school jacket with her name inscribed, and there's her Yearbook dated 1989. There is a Boy Scouts of America shirt belonging to our oldest son. Next, there is a beautiful little vest of our youngest son denoting him as a member of the church's group known as 'King's Kids'. Finally, there's also a handprint in a clay mold. It is the handprint image of our youngest son with his name inscribed and the year 1987, when he was 6 years old. These are precious items of our kids from yesteryears. We have embraced all of these family treasures for more than 35 years, and display them proudly with much gratitude toward God.
