Surely they were built differently than today...no assembly line construction then. Each piece was carefully custom made with hands that often displayed calluses as well as a sensitivity to his or her art. It was a time when individuality was a way of life. Perhaps we want to preserve that goodness by owning a piece of the past. Today nearly every item we purchase is a clone of the others on the shelf. We speak to machines with machines. Occasionally, a "real person" speaks...if all else fails. Is individuality lost to the past? We wonder, "Does anyone really care what I think?" God cares what you think. Our Heavenly Father hears our words and knows our thoughts the same as He did a hundred or a thousand years ago. We are free to pray for our needs. God will never change. He tells us in Malachi 3:6..."For I the Lord do not change..." Today, as in the past, we can each help preserve the goodness in our world. Won't you worship this week?
