A fter months of prayerful prepara­ tion and planning for the move to Florida, the great day was at last upon us. An exhausted Mother slipped into her seat in the car. Her head was swimming. What had she forgotten? Headed first for Indiana and confer­ ence, she’d had to pack sufficiently and properly for that trip and from thence to their new home. Just seven of the nine children were moving with Mother and Daddy. Bob had been married in a lovely church cere­ mony four days before the family’s departure and was headed with his bride for college. All his personal effects went with him. Bill was packed and headed for another college. Moth­ er had carefully included all his win­ ter clothes with a prayer they’d be adequate for the cold weather of the Midwest. As the parents labored over the sorting and packing of the multitudi­ nous items collected over a period of time by so large a family, they were forced to make many decisions as to what was and was not worth moving. Howls of protest went up from their offspring when some loved but worth­ less item was discarded. “ I’ve burned tons of stuff already,” Daddy exaggerated with a groan. “We’re the greatest junk collectors!” “ You haven’t known many people then,” Son number three claimed. “ I know a lot of kids who have whole rooms full of souvenirs and junk they’ve collected. Not one of us has his own room so we don’t have much of a collection.” “ If that’s the case I’m glad you don’t have a room to yourself to pile high. W ill you come and help me carry some of the junk out of the basement?” As the miles sped past Mother tried to untangle the tied-up muscles and nerves which had knotted in spite of her those last few weeks. “Dear Lord,” her heart whispered to the Un­ seen Listener, “ I’m so glad that when I move on to my home with Thee no packing will be necessary. ‘This robe of flesh I’ll drop, and rise to seize the everlasting prize.’ I’m looking up, for my ‘redemption draweth nigh.? Lord, hasten that moving day.”
