What the World Needs

I rarely clean windows anymore, plus these are the original windows from when this house was built in the 1960’s, so it’s hard to tell if they’re clean even after you clean them. While outside watering the flower baskets hanging above each window, they get rinsed by the watering and that works for me.

Months ago I bought a sign made of metal and love seeing what it says, so I’ve moved it around to various areas of the house trying to find a space I’d see it most often. It didn’t do very well hanging on the wall because the pale grey color of the wall wasn’t enough of a contrast to be able to read it immediately. The letters are laser cutouts through metal, so it’s heavy.

It was purchased from Magnolia and I’m pretty sure it’s the title of a children’s book, but no matter, it’s something each and every one of us needs to know and be reminded of daily, regardless of age. This is what the world needs…

The best location by far for this sign is hanging in front of a window and it doesn’t surprise me that all it needed to really shine was some light behind it. The light shines through even the dirtiest of windows. Find your light my darling and let it shine because the world needs who you were made to be.

  1. When I read your title, the song by Jackie DeShannon from 1965 came to mind. Our world is so desperately in need of love.

  4. Well! I just realized that somehow my settings on WP had changed. I have not been getting notices about people blogging at all lately, but assumed those who I follow had gone quiet. Not so! Apologies! I’ll start seeing notices now, I hope.
    And lovely post!

  5. I think I found and fixed it, as I see notice of a new post from you. I would have turned that notification feature off – duh! – so it may have come with some “new and improved” update. :-P
    I see a new post from you – yay! – and will be back to read after food shopping. Have a letter to answer, too. :-)
