One Man's Trash / Another Man's Treasure


On CHRISTmas day I heard the words of my beloved wife say "Merry CHRISTmas!" As she took the trash to the rubbish bin and she opened the lid, there on top was a wooden box that two bottles of brandy may have come in. She proudly brought the wooden box to me and said "Merry CHRISTmas!" Oh I know it was trash, but mind you it was top level trash! But what to do with this "top level trash?" One day we had an idea, why not make it into a bird feeder! And that is what we did. The birds did not seem to care that it was at one time trash, they saw it as a blessing. Isn't it amazing that God can sometimes take what is trash in our lives and turn it around into a blessing? He can, if we will only let Him.
