"There is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heaven."
It seems we are in a "season"of letting go.
First we sold the house where our three "children" grew up and divested ourselves of so many of the "things" that seemed so important.
We bought an RV, lived in it during the winter and moved ourselves and more "stuff" into a little house on the property of our "favorite" youngest and her husband in Southwest Missouri during the summer.
 During that time they acquired two deaf, orphaned children from Ethiopia. We have been blessed to not only teach them but to learn from them.
The school district administration where the children attended was not willing to provide required services, the farm was sold, and with it the little house.
The swings have been left behind and will be enjoyed by the children who have moved into the "old" house.
Again it became necessary to get rid of belongings we had deemed important and transport everything remaining to our recently renovated, purchased town home in Florida.
Now the sorting begins in earnest.
"Less is more" has become Carol's motto.
Where will it all lead?
What does God have in store for us next?
We await His answer.
