A LIGHT POLE TEACHES US THE IMPORTANCE OF LOOKING AT WHO WE REALLY ARE

This blog wasn't written by me but it was written

by my niece Emily Laird Carruth. I felt it was a great 

topic and wanted to share it with my readers as many 

of us need to take note of what is being said here. 

Thanks Emily for looking at things and writing in 

such a way that we understand and you drove a 

great point across that many times we forget.

Take a good look at this powerline pole. 

What do you see? 

There's trash hanging from it and it is leaning a
little, right?  This pole symbolizes
everyone in this world.  Just by looking
at it you think maybe someone should
clean it up a little, or its just a stupid pole, or
even an ugly sight. I see something that has
seen a lot of darkness and a lot of light. It's
been through many storms (hints the trash) to
you it may just be a pole. But if it wasn't for this 

pole that has been through so much we'd miss an 

essential part of living. This pole holds up the cables 

to give you light in the dark. It helps keep you cool in 

the heat of day and warm on the cold nights. 

It may be an eye sore but it is an important part of
life.  Anytime you feel as though you are not
worthy or you don't belong, just remember you
have an important role in this life. Keep your
head up and press on. You may bring more light
to people than you think.

If you struggle with that then you should
quote Psalms 139:14 every day as God
made you exactly how he intended for
you to be created.

Psalms 139:14
 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and
wonderfully made: marvellous are thy
works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
