What is it that we love about very old things? I like nothing more than stumbling upon an old well weathered piece of wood or a rusty hunk of iron. Last night I talked about God’s perspective of time and how time carries us along as it flows. Tonight I’m thinking about our perspective. As time pulls us ever closer towards a destiny we cannot see clearly we can only measure the progress by looking back. Those things were once shiny and new now serve as landmarks. The old rusted trucks, crumbling stone and this old barn are like anchors that help us navigate the raging river of time. It’s even better if there’s a personal connection with the object. I have to wonder if anyone ever passes this barn and relives a special moment? Was there a first kiss that happened here? Was this the place where a spark grew into true love and then into a family? Was this the place where a parent answered a child’s important questions about life’s mysteries while doing the daily chores? Did a grandparent tell stories about when the parent was a kid? Do these stories still echo across the river of time? Yes. I think that they do. These very old things are the sentinels of memories that are still being made today.

Oh time is not our own. And while we still have it, let us be wise spenders of it ๐ great pic and reflective piece of writing as well.
Blessings!

Reliving old moments and memories can be scary, nostalgia can hold you back sometimes but when you see it as a opportunity to grow, it can be useful. But otherwise it would be nice to simply look at something and let our imagination run wild. So many possibilities.

Thank you Sophia. Yes. There some things that are best left in the past but we should hold onto the good things as we reach out to the future. ๐
