The stash lives in the corner of our basement.

Who knows what lives in the black plastic garbage bags and assorted boxes piled haphazardly “out of the way.”

Our college-aged daughter gifted us with the stash. She’s beautiful, but her stash…not so much.

As I walked by it today something caught the corner of my eye:

Hidden in the stash was this beautiful chair. A work of art she created with a friend from a discarded $4.00 thrift shop chair and cut up old magazines.

I dug it out of the stash…

I love it.

I want to absorb the words of it into my soul…

I am accepted.

I am redeemed and forgiven.

I have direct access to God through the Holy Spirit.

Yes, this is who I am…and who you are.  We are made to sit here in the presence of Beauty.

Won’t you have a seat with me for a minute?  🙂
