old things made new






We loved being a part of our town's old bridge reopening.  We drive on that 80 year old bridge multiple times a day and were very grateful that they shut it down for reconstruction.  We like safety.

Walking along the old bridge, watching my kids draw chalk drawings on it and seeing how they made it new again reminded me of  life.  Every morning I am new.  What happened to me the day before or the choices I made no longer matter.  I am new.  God makes all things new and I am more grateful for that than I am for the much safer, new, old bridge.


He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making everything new!" Then he said, "Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true." Revelation 21:5

    Oh, you are such a GOOD MOM for letting your kids go draw on the new bridge!!! I wish we had done that! But...we were on our way to the doctor to get diagnosed with Strep when the bridge opened...so I guess we made the right decision not to stop. :-)

    I LOVE what you wrote about each day being new. Amen, sister. I am so thankful for new days, new chances!

    HOW fun!! I love the pics. I'm also glad they closed the bridge to repair it. And I'm very very glad to have it open again!
