Growing up I used to love to collect things. I had so many different collections. I collected china tea sets, coins, barbie dolls, ty beanie babies, anything Eeyore, porcelain dolls, baseball cards and spoons. I don't know how exactly I started collecting spoons but that was my favorite thing to collect. As I got older and began traveling, I would specifically look for spoons that were unique to remind me of the place I visited. Each spoons carries with it a flood of memories of the places, people, and experiences. When I look at all the spoons its like I'm looking through photo albums of incredible memories. And there are few things that bring me joy like finding a really awesome spoon on vacation (its like finding the golden egg in an Easter egg hunt - which I did that too!)
I just acquired my 56th spoon and it has quickly become one of my favorites. It is one of my favorites for a few reasons- first, it is very beautiful and unique in shape and detail and second, because it was found this past Easter weekend on our vacation.
When I look at the spoon all I can think of is "change", and it fills my heart with comfort and joy as I reflect on things that are changing in my life and how Jesus never does. He is my rock and my salvation and on Him I place my trust, and I can rely on Him alone as I joyfully watch the change all around me.
