Easy Improvements

Improvements.  We all want them.  The most difficult things to improve?  Ourselves.  The easiest?  The stuff that we have.  The worst thing to do is to give up the desire to improve.  The best thing is to keep trying.  If you fail, another way or another time.  Never cease to improve.  If you sow improvements, you will reap greatness.

I could have easily thrown away this beat-up, rusty black file cabinet and purchased a new one.  But why throw away something that works perfectly well?  It really just needed an improvement. 

The front of the file cabinet was the only area that really needed help.  It was rusty on the bottom and the drawers looked a little beat-up.  After wiping down the cabinet, I took some of that magical Mod Podge, some napkins, scissors, and a sponge brush and decoupaged the front of the cabinet.  Voila!  A more decorative, improved file cabinet in no time and money saved!  Now, if only improving myself was that quick and easy.  Something to aspire to, I guess.  In the meantime, let me see what else needs a facelift...

"Since God had planned something better for us so that only together with us would they be made perfect."

Hebrews 11:40
