From Trash to Treasure

So Sunday as Will and I are driving home from swimming when I saw this bright red thing in the dumpster at the church near our house and wellllll I made Will turn around and go back to see what it was---Okay people I know what you are probably thinking, eeeww nasty why in the world would you want something that has been in the trash??? And does this girl go digging in the trash on a regular basis?? Well in answer to your question, no I don't usually dig through the trash but this caught my eye.

We turned around and went back to the dumpster where I proceeded to see what this "red thing" was. It turned out to be a table!! It had a big hole in the center of the table but the table as a whole was very sturdy. Well it just so happens that I have a VERY talented husband who is good with carpentry so he is going to repaint and replace the center with a new piece of wood. I think that it is going to be a awesome coffee table for my living room when he gets it all done and best of all it was FREE :-)

I got to thinking about how the red table was like my life before my Saviour came in and took over. Without God there is a big whole that needs to be filled. The world will just toss you aside but God will come in and make something as sad as that "old red table" beautiful. He fills the hole and makes you a new person!! Isn't He awesome!?!?!

Anyways here is the "before" picture and I will post a "after" when Will gets it done. Use your imagination people. Its going to be great!!
