I can answer this question without even thinking! I know what I WOULD save because I know what I DID save. A decade ago I was alone in a house that caught fire and was rapidly engulfed in flames. I saved a baby monkey and a puppy. They were the only other living things in the building. Smoke prevented reentry. 

This experience is a story in itself to be told at a later date. Remembering it prompted me to walk through my house, scanning for anything that I would want to save. 

I stopped at the two mandolins secured to the wall near the piano. Dr. Dave restored them for me using their broken pieces.  Then I came to the art print from Tony. A poem identifying me as God’s knitting needle. There is the book that identifies birds given to me by Erik when he was still my little boy.  And the woven metal cross by my bed chosen for me by my friend who now lives with Jesus. 

And then I asked myself, is it really these things that are so important to you  or is it your relationship with the giver that makes these gifts precious?

Do I recognize that what I really want to save is something I will never lose? 

Even if there is a fire!!
