It had come from a box of JUNK I had purchased at an antique store several (at least 5) years ago. It was some beautiful workmanship. However it was tattered and torn, and it had not real connection to me, my mom had not made it, nor had my great grandmother or her mother or her daughter. It literally had zero connection to me. Other than the lesson I learned this morning from that tattered piece of lace. At one time it was very beautiful, but it was never finished. It had lain around for some hundred years, and had slowly deteriorated. Though I could still see the workmanship, it really had no purpose. Those who might have even had a connection with its creator, had discarded it, because they saw no value in it. Perhaps they held the creator of the piece in high esteem, but saw no reason to save her handy work. so, why did I? My whole life I have been holding onto many little unfinished pieces of antique lace of one sort or another, and IT HAS TO STOP NOW!!! One piece of antique unfinished lace at a time.So I tossed the lace in the garbage sack and then threw my beloved red plaid PJ bottoms in there too (they have been waiting for over 5 years for me to repair them, and this morning I realized they are irreparable. And one piece at a time I WILL get this place ready to host the king!

The angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples: 'He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.' Now I have told you."
Matthew 28:5-7 (NIV)
