Can you tell me what it was?
There once was a man that lived life free and welcoming to everyone. His home was built with a revolving door so that no one ever felt unwanted or uninvited. For years people would come and go without thought or worry, as the man never turned anyone away.
One day a storm came through the man's village. During the storm, he lost a considerable amount of his possessions, his home was almost completely destroyed. Fortunately for the man, he and his family survived the wreckage without injury.
Weeks passed and the man began to re-establish a normalcy to life. He replaced the possessions with better newer ones. As he began to rebuild his home, he took note to do some upgrades, as he had always wanted to add some additional features, and now seemed like the perfect opportunity. Day by day delivery trucks brought lumber, sheetrock, paint and everything needed to make the man's home just what he had always dreamed. He was now ready for the rebuild.
Each day the neighbors would watch the man's progress in awe of what was taking place merely a few doors from them. As the construction continued, there was intrigue into what type of additions and upgrades the man had planned for his home.
As construction continued, each day the man would look at his neighbors watching in amazement. The man had been proud to offer his home as a place for enlightenment, entertainment, and just mere enjoyment. He looked forward to sharing this improved version of his home as well. He was sure that those who has once enjoyed his home would be there through the process to help and enjoy it again. The new roof went up and the man looked around and no one was there to assist. He thought perhaps, roofing wasn't in their skillset. Next there was the plumbing, the sheetrock, the painting, and each day no one showed up. Each day after day after day, the man made the same excuse, perhaps these chores were not in their skillset.
Finally, the only thing left to change out was the front door. It had long been speculated that the man would get a grand revolving door. A door of all doors, one that would be bigger and better. The man received all types of suggestions as to the type of entry door he should have on his home. After pondering the suggestions from the neighbors, the man made a decision.
Door day came and the suspense was over. The neighbors were all excited to see their new entry door and to see which neighbor had the right design. When the door was revealed, they were shocked. They were in disbelief. They were amazed. The door was bigger than they had anticipated. The door was adorned in a kings like decor and spoke of royalty. It was truly a thing of beauty. Yet in all of it beauty, there was something no one anticipated.
