What’s one thing you own that holds deep sentimental value?

Was thinking about this on the way to pick up coffee for my bride this morning.  

“…one thing you own.” 

Honestly cannot think of a thing.  There are bins full of them in the crawl space.  Biding their time until our next Goodwill run.  But I can recall the many moments in my life that were true blessings and gifts I never imagined receiving.  Things not just granted to me,  but those in my life.  So perhaps what I own or possess in one sense is the opportunity to play a part in creating some of those moments again.  Not simply for me.  

But now, moreso for others.  

“Things” of the deepest and most lasting value. 

Becasue if I do a deeper dive on into that next apparel related thing, what holds just as much or more value for me is seeing how others experience those true blessings and gifts themselves.  

Like when things finally click.  That salvific sense of accomplishment.  Being praised for doing good.  Seeing who they really are.  

And just being.  

When you can experience those kinds of moments, there is nothing left to garner or grab.  

It has absolutely nothing to do with what you own.  

Just what you choose to do with what time you have been given.  

To me, that holds the most value. 

Ever. 

Sentimentally speaking.
