This week I read a little story. A man had written and told about his son coming to he and his wife and telling them that he was planning to buy a Ford Fusion. They were supportive and helpful, yet they both admitted that they had never even heard of a Ford Fusion before. Shortly afterward, they began seeing the cars everywhere they would go. They were passing them on the roads, saw them in parking lots, etc. The moral of the story was this.... they hadn't seen the Fusions before because they weren't LOOKING for them.
I've been thinking about this story all week and how it relates to life. Did the Fusions not exist before this? Of course they did. They were out there, but the man wasn't looking for them. How true this is in life. That which we SEEK, we will FIND. If we seek ugliness in the world, we will find it. On the flip side, if we seek beauty, we will also find it. If we seek for goodness, or if we seek for evil, we most definitely will find it. What are we seeking? Are we so focused on the bad things that are present in our lives that we are missing the wonderful things that are happening around us? Though we are often discouraged and bombarded with negativity, I hope we will take time to seek out the wonderful, beautiful things in our lives. I promise.... peace, love, beauty, and goodness ARE out there. We just need to seek for them.
