The Broken Pieces

BY VICTORIA R. CROSBY

When you feel like you are broken into little pieces, don’t despair, for there are many different methods of repair. A mosaic is made from many shards of broken china, which are put together to make art so unique that is even finer than the broken dishes of which I speak.

It is our friends who are the glue that help us to mend the broken pieces.

This is a story I’ve been told, the Japanese put broken things together and cover the cracks with precious gold, then the broken item is more valuable than before. So when life sends you reeling to the floor remember this, and remember too that something far more precious than gold, is you.

It is our families who are the glue to help us to mend the broken pieces.

So don’t blame yourself when life breaks your heart, don’t fall apart, but put those pieces together like a mirrored disco ball, and shimmer and shine until life returns the favor, and treats you just fine!

It is our faith that is the glue that helps us to mend the broken pieces.
