Surroundings

While working with Sterling for Mr. Bill one day, the Lord showed me an odd example of the importance of one’s surroundings. Mr. Bill owns a decent trailer park and occasionally, meaning all the time, he moves things around his property to get ready for the next project. Today, he was decorating the insides of one of his trailers. He asked Sterling and I to go grab the desk from one of his old beat up trailers, which he used to store various old used furniture. Sterling and I looked around for the desk all the while questioning the thought of putting any piece of this old run down furniture in the brand new trailer. Oh well, it is better to not question Mr. Bill. We hauled the dusty thing full of cob webs to the new trailer, Mr. Bill wiped some dust as we walked, and ordered to put it against the north wall. We set it down. I looked with wonder as I thought how the same desk in this new clean room looked so perfect.
