Still opening boxes...

Yes, I know.  For those of you who know me well, you probably can't believe I'm still opening boxes; but it's true.  Richard and I opened the boxes containing all our 'wall art' this morning, but sadly, we only hung a few things.  The wall space is different here...the large pictures aren't large enough and the small pictures are too small.  So after a full morning of trying to make things fit, I realize they won't and I will have bare walls for awhile.  I think that's the reason I've put off opening all this stuff...that's the reason I'm not feeling 'at home' here yet.  But then I remind myself that this world is not my home...it's just a temporary dwelling place. Heaven is my real home.  2 Corinthians 4:18 tells us to fix our eyes not on what is seen (like pictures & mirrors or candles & calendars) but what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.  

Oh yes, I can see more shopping trips in my future, but I always remind myself that even though it's fun to buy and display 'things' they really are just things.
