A Journey to the Barn

"Can you see what I see?" Mom had taken her fingers and gently closed her eye lids nice and tight. "I don't know Mom, what do you see?" In the most matter of fact voice I had ever heard her speak in she replied, "It's Jesus' Barn. It would be a shame if you couldn't see it. Look at all those compressed bales of straw he has stacked up. He squeezed all the water out by hand. He has worked so hard. I bet he is tired." Sandy Sprouse Death has taught me to be thankful, slow down, visit your friends a little longer, watch the sun come up everyday, find a good swimming hole and jump off of the cliffs no matter how scared you are.
