Something Old

This is a post of a different sort. I don't usually photograph a lot of manmade objects.My eyes are drawn to the beauty of nature all around me, but when riding with a friend, sometimes I see beauty in different things.
I have been by this old truck many, many times, but never took the time to really have a look at it.
When my friend suggested we stop and get pictures,I did just that and found that even an old truck has some appeal.

Once upon a time, this truck was the pride and joy of someone.Perhaps the owner was a young man, who couldn't wait to take this vehicle for a ride and show it off to his buddies.

Today it sits, abandoned at the side of a field. The beauty of what it once was is gone.

Similarly, this old building was once brand new and ready to be used. Today it is likely home, only to a few mice and maybe a bat or two.

Those boards that are worn and weak  were once new and sturdy. No doubt, someone took a lot of time to build this and had great plans for it.

Here on this old earth, everything gets old and breaks down, even the human body, but one look at the moon and we are looking at the moon exactly as it was when that truck was new and the building had just been completed. That kind of puts things into perspective, doesn't it?

Something to Think About:

Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow may never arrive.

But I have today.

Knowing these facts can give a faith-lift and perhaps even a face-lift.
