BUiLDiNG CHARACTER

The other day we found a great place in Lancaster City called BUiLDiNG Character. Its a store that reclaims architectural items and resells them for either use in homes or to be "transformed" by artisans into something new. OK - basically - its a junk store - old stuff that was going to be throw out, things that were cast aside, deemed no longer useful.

I was struck with all the possibilities! One of the things I appreciate about the eye of an artist - ( and sometimes I have one, sometimes I don't) is the ability to see the possibilities. Our God is our role model in this. God takes my junk - my old stuff - stuff that others would just abandon and say - "what's the use" - and transforms me into something that is pleasing in His sight - something that He can use! Praise be to God that He sees potential in me. I got plenty of junk in my life that needs to be transformed. I'm glad God is patient and as the most skilled artist, he slowly changes me. Re- purposes me. He makes me into something new. Thanks be to God!
