I still have a love of seeing old buildings standing around.
The area I grew up in was so populous there was no
spare ground for old buildings. They were either
restored or tore down to make room for new buildings.
This building and several others in this area have finally
fallen down. I have watched some of these deserted
buildings for nearly fifty years. But just like us old people
they can last only so long.
I would suppose there would be a lesson in that for us.
Just as buildings do not last for ever, neither do we.
The old buildings I have watched eventually fell down
and rotted or returned to the earth they came from.
And so will our old bodies. You know the old expression,
"... from dust to dust ...". Our bodies will eventually die,
but then our spirit will stand before God who gave us
life to start with. Are we ready for that day.?
