We came upon it suddenly,
While walking in the bush one
day,
On the edge of a clearing,
A dilapidated cottage.
An old man sat on a bench
outside,
A mangy dog at his feet.
He smiled a toothless smile at
us.
As we hesitantly approached,
An old woman appeared at the
door,
She waved and beckoned us
in.
Come
have some lunch with us.
Reluctantly we entered, not
knowing what to expect.
Imagine our surprise at what met our
eyes,
That
cottage was beautiful inside.
And
what a splendid banquet was on the table.
We
sat and feasted like kings,
And
were merrily entertained.
When
leaving that clearing
With
the dilapidated cottage,
We
remembered that we should not
Judge what is on the
outside,
But
as God does, what is within.
