{treasures...}

Thanks for all of your sweet comments on our birdhouses.

After that post, I had a severe case of "blogger's block."

I have a few projects in mind to paint and spray paint but the weather is not cooperating.

....rain, rain, rain!

So stay tuned and I will share those later...

But for Today...

My dad asked me to stop by a couple of weeks ago to take a few pictures of his "new....old car" for the insurance company. Bless his heart, he is a smart fellow, but he rebels against technology. He is not computer savvy, nor does he own a digital camera. He intended on sending POLAROID pictures of the car. I don't see a future in blogging for him! LOLOL!

...just saying! :)

{My Mom can do most anything on the computer, but I don't think she wants to bother with him! LOL! }

Anyhow, below is the car....

Oh, it was LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT, for me!

Kevin collects old cars also, and will probably be a little offended that I have never featured or bragged on any of his. And maybe I don't appreciate old vintage cars as I should, being that I have been stranded just a few times by them. Probably the most angry Kevin has ever been with me, was when we broke down in his vintage '57 Chevy, but I'll save that story for another post, another day.

But this '57 yellow 'Wagon just struck a cord with my heart.

It looks so "June Cleaverish."

Can you just imagine June driving Wally and the Beaver to school or loading groceries in the back, all the while wearing her infamous high heels, perfectly groomed?

A girl can dream! :)

And just so you know, I've called dibbs on the car.....my inheritance.

I used the "eldest card" on my dad, trumping my brother.

Not that he wanted it, but just in case, we need to get some things straight now! LOL!

See the red truck in the background, reminds me of another story.

But that will have to wait until another post, another day also.

Seriously though, I don't make a habit of asking my parents for inheritances, this was all in jest.

{...although I really do love that car, color and all!}

I was reminded, of a few verses from Matthew 6:19-21.

"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasures is, there your heart will be also."

This is not to say that having "things" on earth is wrong. If so, I would be the first one guilty; and consider all that I do have, a blessing from God. Nor are we to love our things above God. This verse reminds us that this world is not our permanent home, just temporary. And that treasures on earth are insecure. But Heaven's treasures are secure and for eternity.

In today's economy, that takes on a whole new light, and this promise is comforting. :)

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! ~Rhonda
