Description
I purchased this chair many years ago as a chair for my garden. I had always wanted a garden chair as I would get tired when weeding or dealing with any number of issues having to do with produce. As it was decorative and made completely out of wood I thought "so much the better'. It won't rust or turn into another piece of junk. Time went by. The garden was reduced in size. So, unneeded, the chair was transported up north to our cabin there. It sat next to a small garden area where it gradually started "melting" into the earth over the course of several years. The weeds began taking over the garden area as we no longer used it. It had been such a beauty and was so comfortable for a wooden chair. After the legs started rotting away, the joints started breaking down, the nails started protruding out of their place, and the lovely back and seat were getting too soft to sit or press on, we finally decided to dispose of it.
Our lives are a lot like this old chair. We have a God given purpose for being here. If our purpose is "to decorate the garden" then we should do it to the best of our God given ability. If we are 'moved' for whatever reason we need to adjust and ask God for His direction. Then when we get old and start to show signs of age God can say, "Well done, good and faithful servant, now come and enjoy the presence of the Father with Me".
