The history of creating glass can be traced back to 3500 BCE in Mesopotamia. The term glass developed in the late Roman Empire. It was in the Roman glassmaking center at Trier, now in modern Germany, that the late-Latin term glesum originated, probably from a Germanic word for a transparent, lustrous substance.

Ohio Barn::Love::Patience

A MY QULITY TIME POST LINKING TO “BARN CHARM” , “OUR WORLD TUESDAY”,SCENIC SUNDAY AND SPIRITUAL SUNDAYS

One day a father and his rich family took his young son on a trip to the country with the firm purpose to show him how poor people can be. They spent a day and a night in the farm of a very poor family. DSC_0125

When they got back from their trip the father asked his son, "How was the trip?"

DSC_0127

Very good, Dad!" "Did you see how poor people can be?" the father asked."Yeah!"

DSC_0155

"And what did you learn?"

DSC_0147 The son answered, "I saw that we have a dog at home, and they have four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle of the garden, they have a creek that has no end.

DSC_0134

We have imported lamps in the garden, they have the stars. Our patio reaches to the front yard, they have a whole horizon."

DSC_0139

When the little boy was finishing, his father was speechless.

DSC_0141 His son added, "Thanks, Dad, for showing me how poor we are!"

Isn't it true that it all depends on the way you look at things? If you have love, friends, family, health, good humor and a positive attitude toward life, you've got everything!

DSC_0151

You can't buy any of these things. You can have all the material possessions you can imagine, provisions for the future, etc., but if you are poor of spirit, you have nothing!
