LITTLE BLUE SHACK ATTACK



Just dropped my son off at school this morning
and all of a sudden
while driving down a quaint little country road...

BAM!!!

almost running me off the road...
This cute little blue shack jumps out at me!!!!

Don't you just love buildings like this?
Don't you wonder what stories it holds?

I do!!!

I just love the blue wooden boards
worn like your favorite pair of old Levi jeans 
and the rusted tin roof
smothered in red fairy dust. 



Just had to take some pictures of it to quench my thirsty imagination.

Does anyone live there?
If so,  
I think we could be friends.
Just because...
 I think
you can tell a lot about them just by their little blue shack!!!
I love it when a house
shouts out 
"These are the kind of people that live here"

A little worn
hard working
peaceful
humble
gentle
inviting
meek
warm

I feel like I know them already...

I love its 
 overflowing nature of Southern hospitality
that it actually comes up
and knocks me upside the head
with a humble but uniquely friendly
"Hello"


The open window to the sun
makes me wonder
if this sweet little shack
is suffering from ENS (empty nest syndrome)!

or maybe they don't have A/C?
or maybe Rapunzel's hair got caught in the shutter 
and they are busy detangling inside?
or maybe they're just enjoying a beautiful October blue sky day!!!

It's so tempting to be Nancy Drew....

Either way
I will pray for them!!!
That the windows of their hearts are open to the one true Son
that can lead them warmly into a life
filled with the fruit of His Spirit.
