What would you take?

If God came to you and said you can bring one item to Heaven with you what would you take?

I have been thinking about this a lot for some reason and I am really not sure why because I know in Heaven all my treasures are already there, but I keep looking around and wandering " what would I take"...
I have so many items in my home that are important to me, a memory attached to them. I love my pictures, I love them because in the moment it was taken everything was perfect and nothing can change it. I have love letters from my husband that he wrote to me when we were Young and thought we could take on the world, I go back and read them to remind me where we came from and that we have conquered so much more then we ever thought possible. I have Elijah art work on my walls and I love being surrounded by his imagination and his small hand prints. I have these hair clips from my little brother, they say Heather on them and they are pink and I have kept them all these years because that is the only gift he ever bought with his own money. I have a ring I wear everyday from Bestie and I wear it because when I look at it, it makes me think of her and how I want to be a better person. She is one of the most loving,caring and giving women I know.
I have a pink baby blanket up in my closet that Bestie mom got me when I was pregnant with Elijah, she got me two thinking I was going to have a girl. She passed away never knowing Elijah or getting to know this baby. I gave Elijah one of the blankets and I am holding on to the other blanket for this baby... I have small heart shaped jewelry box my mom gave me a few years back and it has cracks and chips in because I broke it, I remember just sitting there crying holding the broken pieces in my hands thinking I will never see her again, now I look at it thinking God is the glue to everything even when you think things can not be fixed.
See what I mean I have so many wonderful items I can choose from, so how do I just choose just one??

I am going to choose my salvation... I choose my salvation because I know God has treasures for me in heaven, these items are my treasures on earth and he knew that we wouldn't be able to choose just one so he has treasures for us waiting and I cant wait to see what it is, Who knows maaybe it will be my pictures,letters,art work,ring and jewelry box...


So what are you taking?
