For years now, our daughter, Anna, has been playing the piano. This piano has been her "friend" and has been a source of enjoyment to all of our family. I would miss hearing her play during these years as she came and went back and forth to college but she always sat down at it soon after getting home for a weekend or holiday, and it seemed she'd not been gone long.
Yesterday we watched it go out of the house. It was sold on Saturday but the day that it was to be picked up came rather suddenly. I watched Anna work through the music in the bench and go through what she was keeping and getting rid of. I'm so glad that the Lord has our best individual interests in mind, for us and for our children, when He asks the hard things of us. These days will be a fleeting mist in time and what gifts and talents the Lord has put into us will not be wasted - even if it means giving up a piano for now.
