..."Without Brokenness there is no redemption.<br /><br />"Broken dream lead to better ones.<br /><br />Broken hearts strengthen that same heart as it heals.<br /><br />Broken ideas transform into deeper, new understanding.<br /><br />A broken body on a cross, forsaken, wounded, ultimately healing all.<br /><br />Brokenness is simply a chance at renewal, at Redemption."<br /><br />When you put words together and I have the privilege of reading them, there is a moment in time when ALL is RIGHT in the world. And I pray that you never lose sight of what you remind me of all the time--our words matter. Yours and mine. God gave us a gift to express things other people FEEL but cannot say. And when you take a moment to affirm the artistry of my writing--the lines that may have taken more time to craft than I care to admit--I feel like the hardest English teacher in high school (Miss Ney) just praised my work in front of the whole class. When someone who writes like you do and thinks like you do and feels like you do, sees value in what I do … well, all the FB likes in the world would never measure up. <br /><br />Thank you for getting up each morning (even though when it hurts) to write words that make the reader believe not EVERYTHING is broken. I am grateful for you.

I think this feeling comes strongly near one's Birthday. It is hard not to feel broken as we age and know we are loosing a bit each year. There is no bouncing all the way back. Enjoy the birthday but don't sweat it. Let me do thatMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09515452793364629068noreply@blogger.com
