BROKEN PLATE: A DIALOG

“Oh, no! Clumsy human.” “That was a beautiful plate.” “What is to become of me now?” “I guess I’ll throw it away. What a shame and a waste. Now does it go in the recycle can or the trash?” “Maybe she’ll make me into something new.” “Did you say something?” “Yes. Did you know that if you break me up just a little more I could be made over? You know, how God did for you. Remember what a mess you were? You were broken, lost, lonely, crying all the time. Did God throw you away? No, He had craft time. He rearranged the pieces. He redirected your heart. He gave you a new outlook on your inside. Pick up that glue bottle. Rearrange me. Cover a bare wall. Make me into a mosaic. Use me to teach God’s truth to another, the way He used your pieces to renew you. Honor the earth by not filling another landfill.” “Do you really think I can?” “You were taught by the Master.” “I’ll give it a try.” “Now you look just like my heart.” “Thank you!”
