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.
Our daughter's high school jacket has her name
inscribed, and there's her yearbook dated 1989.
There is a Boy Scouts of America shirt belonging
to our oldest son. 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'.
There's also a handprint in a clay mold. It is the
image of our youngest son with his name inscribed
and the year 1987, when he was 6 years old. We have
had all of these family treasures for more than 35 years.
We display them with pride and out of much gratitude to God.
