Yesterday our Church bulletin had a picture of a jewelery box with jewels laying on the top and Linda E. Knight wrote "Appreciate this moment. Celebrate the here and now. Look up at the universe and breathe your praise to God, for another day, for another dawn, for another gift of living." The treasure I saw came true for me today. The picture of the cross at the beginning of this post was taken by my camera phone at a Methodist Country Church that had been closes since 1975. A group of individuals from the farming neighborhood have decided to repair the Church which was built in 1872 at a cost of $2,400. In 1979 a Lady of the area had the foresight to get the Church building on the National Register of Historic Places. I wish I could have taken a picture of the Church, but the lighting was all wrong for my little camera. This Church is a treasure of the living of this farming community.
To get the Church ready for this Memorial Day four college students and a professor, who is involved with the Historical Preservation Association, took ten straight days to clean, get rid of little four legged animals, and get electricity going for the presentation.
