It has been pure obedience to pack. Don't get me wrong, we are very excited about our upcoming move, but the boxes are a real pain.
We have learned several great lessons in the midst of this:
We do live temporarily-this place is not our home and we long for our Heavenly home where we will never have to pack or unpack again. It is already prepared for us!
Don't think about all we have to do: say good-bye to friends, pack, change addresses, set up utilities, talk with movers, pack, clean, feed the children, pack...just do the next thing! We only know what we have to do today. None of us knows the future. Be faithful today-do your work faithfully, thoroughly, honestly, and gratefully. "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving" (Colossians 3:23-24)
"My God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus"(Philippians 4:19)
Sometimes unpacking can feel like Christmas. Maybe the boxes will look like this:

ummm...don't hold your breath on finding a Tiffany's box. I was trying to find fun things about packing too. Did you watch the Mr. Bean clip?
