The Coin Purse

My husband likes to hold on to and use things that he is familar with. For instance, his cell phone is still one with the pull up antenna. He just keeps getting new batteries for it. Thank goodness he didn't have one of the original car phones or he would still be using it.
Speaking of cell phones, he keeps using the same cell phone holder even though it doesn't close anymore. I bought him a new one for Christmas last year, but he thought he would stay with the old one because it wasn't worn out yet.
Don't even approach him about his wallet or his socks and underwear. If they don't have a bunch of holes in them, they are still good.
But the one thing that is probably his most used possesion is his coin purse. He made it when he was in Bible School as a elementary child. It is leather, sewned together on the sides and closed with a snap that has long ago pulled through the leather but he can still fasten it with the hole and slip it around the head of the snap. He is always so careful to get into it because it looks like it will fall apart if the wind would blow just right. And you know if something would ever happen to my guy, that coin purse would be the one thing that I would want to hold on to forever.
