I took this picture a while ago..... I just saw them by the back door one day. You know when you just "See" something so ordinary, just an everyday thing that is usually no big deal? Usually it's something really dirty, or disgusting, that you just all of a sudden notice, and you wonder how you ever missed it, and you immediately clean it up? (I hope I'm not the only one who does that. If so..... don't tell anybody!)
Well this particular day, I just "saw" them by the back door. I stood and pondered on what they meant.
On any other day, I would have been bothered by them, they are always dirty, in the way of the back door, and they tend to leave a mess behind. On this particular day, they were a reminder of the man I love. The man who loves us so much that he wears those boots every day, and gets dirty and tired everyday, that walks miles everyday, just for US. So...... today I am grateful that they are by the back door, that I have to kick them to the side a little bit to open the door, that they were dirty and left a mess behind...... because that means that he is here, with us, and there is no where else I would rather he be, than right here with me.
Tomorrow? They will probably just be dirty work boots that I don't like so much, and are in the way again, but at least for today they reminded me, and for that I am also grateful.
