Are you a beautiful old barn?


When you look at this picture what do you see? Do you see a broken down old barn, do you see history of a functioning barn at one time, or do you see the beauty of the whole scene? I love to go to the mountains, for me it is the most relaxing place to be. Sure I have a lot of mowing, spraying for weeds, killing bees and ants that try to move in, but for all the work the scenery makes up for it. Stop and look around today, do you see a broken down old person, or do we see the history behind who they are. If we look really close sometimes we will see the beauty of the whole life that has transpired over time. We might have to look past the crumbling, whining, & complaining of some, so that we get to see the beauty of peace, joy and contentment in others. When we grow older, what will people see in us, the disfunctional barn or the beauty of the history that makes me who I am and you who you are, hopefully a happy, peaceful and contented child of God...
