Our son and his wife will soon be adoptive parents of a baby girl. When my son was a toddler his favorite stuffed animal was Kitty. He had a zoo of other stuffed animals, in addition to several characters from The Cat in the Hat books and several Popples. I’ve saved Kitty for 29 years.
For some reason I was keeping Kitty and several other valuable stuffed animals in the trunk of my car (in a black trash bag). So, I moved them to a safe place – a place where I knew I’d find them. Guess what…
I was SURE we put the black trash above our garage. My husband climbed up and looked all around. No Kitty.
No problem…on to the shed. My other son and I looked for 3½ hours. No Kitty. But the shed was all organized.
No problem…on to the garage. I looked for 4 hours. No Kitty. But the garage was all organized.
No problem…on to my son’s old bedroom. I looked in there. No Kitty. [It was already organized by my son.]
Now it’s almost a problem. I’m running out of places to look. I should have left Kitty in the trunk of my car!
Meanwhile, I’ve been reunited with lots of things I haven’t seen for a while.
Why do we put our greatest treasures in those elusive ‘safe’ places?
I’m glad God’s keeping track of my treasures in heaven. I’m doing a lousy job keeping track of some of my earthly treasures.
Please tell me I’m not the only one who has misplaced a valuable item by storing it in a ‘safe’ place?!!!
