Each day for years, two friends out for a walk passed an empty lot with a broken ‘for sale’ sign lying on its side. The property was full of weeds and dead trees. A tiny, rusted metal utility shed was the only thing that sat on the property. On this particular day, the inquisitive friend decided to look inside the shed, while the other friend waited impatiently on the sidewalk.

“What a tumbled down mess,” the friend yelled, laughing from the sidewalk, “and the sign says they want $5,000 but it isn’t even worth that!” The inquisitive one walked towards the shed hoping to find a tiny treasure, or a small or rare antique left behind. She pried open the rusted door slightly and saw a small illumination coming from within.

“C’mon” she waved to her friend, “you have to see this!” Hesitantly, the friend walked over and they stepped inside the tiny shed together. The views from every window were majestic and the landscaping was lush and beautiful. Each room held the best furnishings, best views, best decorating—the best of everything that money could ever buy. Every room had soaring ceilings with watching angels and bright light that didn’t come from the windows. In every direction was the most rare and beautiful treasure. As they stood in the light from within, they were in the most magnificent mansion ever known to man.
