Do you take life at face value?
I thought it was just another photo. But then my friend said, “This picture was taken by Aycock Brown.”
Now you may not have heard of Aycock Brown, but he’s a wonderful photographer who has shot a lot of pictures around Kitty Hawk, North Carolina where a hundred years ago, the Wright Brothers launched the first powered flight by man. So my friend describes this photo by Aycock Brown as featuring the Wright Brothers Memorial, which stands up on a ridge, with the moon in the background.
And I’m thinking to myself, “Well, that sounds nice, but nothing spectacular.” Then my friend says, “Aycock Brown took a radio out with him that night. And that picture was taken at the exact moment that Neil Armstrong stepped onto the surface of the moon and said, ‘One small step for man; one giant leap for mankind.”
At face value, the photo was just another nice one. But knowing the whole story made it significant.
Listen to your life today for the whole story so you can make a positive life, not just a living.
