As the days passed, Todd's friends eventually began coming over to the house. I didn't know what to do or say.
When I think back, it was interesting that I suggested what brought me comfort. I suggested that Todd's friends go down to his room.
I didn't care what these friends wanted to do or how long they wanted to stay. Maybe they wanted to lie on Todd's waterbed and think about him as I did. Or look through his closet or drawers and choose something to remember Todd by.
I told these kids they could pick out anything they wanted and show it to me. If it was something I wanted to keep, I would tell them.
I was surprised at some of the things these teenagers chose. Several chose a spike out of Todd's running shoes. Wow!
When I saw this, it opened my eyes. The Lord was showing me that material things don't matter in the end. What matters are the memories these things bring.
I praise God that He opened my eyes to the fact that material things aren't that important in the end.
"Write down for the coming generation what the Lord has done, so that people not yet born will praise Him." Psalm 102:18
