3 Kids Went Exploring..

3 kids went exploring at the beach. Their goal was to find a cave at the base of the bluff. They raced off down the beach with great excitement - 3 happy cousins aged 12 & 13 years.

What did they find???

The 13 year old boy returned first, with a large graze on his chest. His story was that there was no cave to be seen & all he found were cuts on his feet (the graze on his chest apparently was unimportant). On second thoughts....he did find a tennis ball.

The 12 year old girl followed behind, looking slightly bored. Her story was that there was no cave to be seen & all she found were cuts on her feet.

Dawdling slowly behind came the 12 year old boy. His story was that there was indeed a cave but that it was full of sand. However there were rocks to climb on & he found some TREASURE!!!  

We all make 'stories' in this life. Depending on our world view, those stories are often about discovery or disappointment. It's a matter of perspective. If we look up.....we see the sky. If we look down.....we see our feet. Where are you looking right now? What perspective do you have?  Do you find 'treasure' or 'cut feet' in your days?
Isn't it a beautiful day????
