When my girls were little we would carry them to see Christmas lights over on the Cullman highway. The night sky was lit up far and wide with the magic of the tiny lights strung over everything in the yard. It was a sight to behold, people came from lots of places to see these lights. In the night you could only see the beauty of the lights and the nativity scenes he had put up. From this mans goodness we made some nice memories. Long lines of cars drove through the yard and field there to share the pleasure of his Christmas celebration. But if you drove by in the daylight all you would see would be junk piled here and there, an unkept yard, outbuildings falling down where they stood, leaves piled up over time, even an old commode could be found standing there. On close inspection the nativity pieces appeared to be old and worn but his giving spirit was good. I believe that goodness and beauty can be found everywhere, sometimes you just have to look past the junk. Keep your chin up and your eyes open...its up to you what you see and whats important. jes sayin......
