what do you see?

SLOW DOWN.  TAKE TIME TO REALLY LOOK AROUND YOU.  WHAT DO YOU SEE?


I SEE BEAUTY 
IN THE SCRAPS.
I SEE STIFF COLD HANDS 
STRAINED OPEN
RECEIVING
I SEE SOFT HEARTS 
POURED OPEN 
GIVING.
I SEE HOPE IN
EXPECTANT BLUE EYES
OTHERWISE LOST 
WITHOUT 
COMPASSION.
I SEE CAST OFF TREASURES
SPOTTED BY OPEN EYES
 BROUGHT BACK
INTO LIGHT
WELCOMED 
LOVED.

    Amazing how scraps can become something to behold when someone takes the time to display it in a fashion that transforms it into something beautiful! Lovely poetic insights my friend!

      The day before writing this, I'd visited the drop-in center with the grade 8 class. I was reminded so powerfully how God sees treasure in all of us....even those cast off and discarded. "He makes beautiful things out of dust...OUT OF US!"
