PRECIOUS MOMENTS
About ten years ago, my secret pal at church gave me a Precious Moment’s window. That started it!! I have been collecting Precious Moments ever since. I collect them because they look so precious. 
I have received several figurines from my DH and daughters. These pieces are especially important to me because they have a story to tell.
My brother’s death in 1993 was caused by cancer. I had a very hard time dealing with his death then and even now sometimes it it very rough. Shortly after he died I purchased the figurine ‘No Tears Past the Gate’. A phrase in the hymn “What a Day that Will Be” is no more tears to dim the eye. Every time I look at this figurine, I think about my brother and also Rev. 21:4.
- And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
I have found detailed information about the history of Precious Moments at collectiblestoday.com. I knew some of the history but not this much detail. I was pleased with what I found and may possibly use them to order some of the most precious pieces of my collectible.
Do you have a collectible and if so what?
