Good morning,
I saw this barn and couldn't help but think how many people probably see it as just old and dilapidated. Most people wouldn't pay it any mind, and those who do likely think it is of no use. It made me think about if that barn could talk, how much it has seen and learned over the years. Can you imagine all the history and everything that took place around it? Just think of all the materials and labor involved. This barn was probably a family's vision and dream. Even though it is old and run down, it still stands!
The analogy I see is that the barn reminds me of our elders. The next time you see an older person, think about their history, what you could learn from them, and what they have been through. And if you are an elder, remember that you have something to speak about and share!
Encourage the elders in your life, and be a light of hope and joy for them.
God Bless,
