If I saw this old stone entrance in any other city, I’d be wowed.

Look at those columns! Worn down, yes, and the metal rails aren’t that attractive, but still…

Here in my hometown, however, I usually just walk right by, if I’m even over in that part of downtown.

How many other things around me am I not appreciating, places and people alike?

Lord, help me to be open to my surroundings, to see the beauty in everything and everyone around me.
