Fixing A Broken Glass 12/27/2023

 Good Morning,

One last day before we are home to a pot of Door County Jingle Bell Java Coffee and it is time to write. The hotel we stayed in for the night was a little too cold for my liking. But soon we will be on the road and headed for home. 

My wife Rene collects antiques. She has a full set of Pink Cherry Blossom depression glass dishes. We never use them, but they are displayed as a collector item in our home. Last week while we were driving to Georgia to celebrate Christmas, we stopped at an antique shop. We stretched our legs and Rene browsed through the antique displays. It was very soon into our rest stop, that I saw her walking to the front desk with some water tumblers which were Pink Cherry Blossom. I was curious as to why we needed more when we have a full set. Rene explained that she was no acquiring some spares, just in case one broke somehow. Recently she had dropped another dish of no value except a sentimental memory. I tried fixing the dish with epoxy. There were just too many pieces to be able to glue it back together. It couldn't be fixed. 

Some of you might be going through a very tough time with a relationship or two. It might feel like the relationship has shattered like a broken antique dish. It seems impossible that it can ever be fixed. Too many pieces have been destroyed. Maybe the relationship cannot be fixed, as you desire it to be, but God cares about you and you will make it with His help. Sometimes He is preparing you for your next relationship. 

Life is fragile for sure. But it is not a glass. Yet the main glue in a relationship  is God. He is able to repair shattered lives and put them back into usefulness within the lives of others. God is able to heal broken hearts and set them on the right path.

Matthew 19:26 Jesus looked at them and said; "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."

But, we must wait on the Lord and be patient. Let God have His perfect work done in you. Follow all instructions from God perfectly and without wavering. 

Food for thought!
