Broken Things
Genesis 1:10b (CSB) And God saw that it was good.
My niece sat her mom’s favorite coffee mug down too hard on the kitchen counter causing the handle to break off and the cup to crack. The moment it happened, my sister got up from the breakfast table to make sure that my niece didn’t hurt herself. She then opened a drawer and pulled out her ceramic glue. She sealed the crack and glued the handle back onto the cup. A little later, she placed some soil in the mug and planted an aloe plant in it. My sister’s is still her favorite now that she has repurposed it as a plant holder and placed it on a shelf in front of the kitchen window. Broken things are still good things that – with a little time, attention, and faith invested in them – can be repurposed into something better. Broken people are the same. They are good people whom we – with God’s guidance - can lend a hand in helping to restore them to a better version of themselves. Selah.
