Parable Twenty Three
A man one day was exploring a local flea market. He came to a particular shop where he went in and looked at different items for sale. He looked over items such as watches, jewelery, electronic gadgets, tools, household items and local art and paintings. Finally after a long time he spotted a rather striking painting. It was a landscape and he loved the technique, color and the way the artist painted the image. He bought the painting, took it home and place in a prominent place in his den.
An amount of time past when one day an old friend came to visit. His friend who was a man well known art dealer noticed the painting. He said, "I think I recognized this painting it looks like a painting from a famous artist, how did you get it?" The owner replied, "I found it in a local flea market." To which his friend replied, "Well then it cannot be the painting but just for peace of mind why don't you have it evaluated."
Together they went to an international art expert with the painting and the expert confirmed the painting was not a copy but the real painting from this artist. Immediately the news of this lost painting being found race across the art world like a blazing fire and the owner was offered large amounts of money for the painting. After careful consideration he sold the painting to an art museum where it be viewed by all.
You will find real beauty or valuables in the most unusual places but real charity is sharing these with others.
