Building A House

It took me a lot of time to build this house

with acrylic paints and many brushes,

I had to learn a lot to create the different

pieces of my humble house and buy some

new paint brushes for the fine work.

My scanner isn't big enough to catch all of

my humble painting of a Victorian house.  

So part of it is missing and you can see

that I wasn't able to give you a picture

that was square and level.

But the story is not about the result of

my many hours of work. Many thoughts

arose and I learned that learning how to

do new things is good for our minds. I

set a goal and the project wasn't easy.

The point is that we shouldn't ever give

up even if what we have to do is very

hard. Reaching a goal through a lot of

work helps us all to grow and it changes

who we are and make it better.

I live in a manufactured home in a nice

manufactured home park with good 

neighbors. I will never have ahouse

like the one in my painting, but yet

I am very grateful for our home.

Our home is built on a foundation of

love and our savior Jesus Christ. I

remembered that a house must be

built on a strong foundation if it is

to last  for a very long time.

In the end, I saw that my project

was a teacher that taught me new

lessons about life. Lessons are     

there for us if we are willing to

listen and apply them to our lives.
