Antique China Cabinet

Antique china cabinet in more ways than one... the cabinet is antique and much of the china mosaic is as well. My husband wanted to toss the cabinet in the trash when I brought it home but now it stands in a place of honor in our home. It gives one such a sense of happiness when one takes something that is broken down and useless and transforms it into beauty and usefulness. I guess that must be how God feels about us!

I like the spiritual symbolism you tied to the cabinet in your text. Imagine what the world would be like if everything was given a second chance to shine. Excellent work!
