We are sitting here in the office watching one of the Founders of the company going through all the offices/cabinets and throwing stuff away. Stuff that way once very important and had to be held onto now that he is leaving just doesn’t have the value it once did.
He is leaving because he was sort of pushed out and is trying not to be too cynical. He gave his 2 week notice, but basically was shut out on the day he told them and is just trying to kill time now.
I sit here and think about what it must feel like for him, something that he devoted so much time and effort to, time he sacrificed his family for and now both his wife and his company are leaving him. As he looks for something to do, anything, continues to look at the remnants of the last few years and loads trash can after trash can.
I for one have a tendency to hold on to important papers thinking they might be needed. I struggle to get rid of something that still works even though I’m not using it and never will again. But my true prayer is that I never hold on to things and forget where the true worth is; Jesus, my husband, my family and my friends.
