Broken things can be turned in to lovely works of art.
As seen below a cracked bowl was fixed into a piece of art.
You may still be able to see its cracks, but this bowl is once again functional and now defined by gold.
Or
Art can be made by
taking something broken and creating it into a new, beautiful design.
With time, love, and dedication brokenness can become beautiful once again.
One will still be able to tell it was once damaged, but that is not all to be seen.
The elegancy of what it once was and the charm of what it is now
can be found when something destroyed is created into a different and unique thing.
Exactly four years ago my world was shattered.
My hero, my role model, my dad
went to be with our Heavenly Father.
He was no longer suffering and feeling pain, but now I was.
Everything changed - some in radical way and others were just minor.
I was broken and in more ways than one,
but with
time to heal,
love from family and friends,
and the dedication of God to show me His will
I have become a delightful creation, a captivating work of art.
Sure, there are times where I still feel "broken" and hopelessly crushed.
I know just as super glue or duck tape can't always fix things,
I will never be exactly what I used to be.
I also know that God has turned my brokenness into an exquisite creation
and that I am exactly what He planned me to be.
Dedicated to Daryl D. Reichard 1965-2010
