Why do I bother to relate this story? Yes, I' sentimental, but I see more than emotions here. Each item serves as a reminder of something, and Someone, far greater. I believe God uses the ordinary to point us to the extraordinary. He cares about all the details of our lives and leaves us memorials to remind us of His goodness. Are your valuables on display? Better yet, can everyone see the ultimate treasure living in your heart?
When I was about 7 years old my parents gave me this doll for Christmas. I named him William, not knowing another William would come my way many years later. Believe it or not, my husband, William, was given this little William Tell cap when he was small. Somehow, the doll & the cap survived and now occupy this antique high chair. One more treasure can be found in the center of the high chair tray. It's a picture of my friend and me days after receiving our Christmas dolls. We are all dressed for school to share our Christmas gifts for "Show & Tell."
