A dear friend sent this photo to me today,
telling me she had fixed the broken pieces and even added
a couple of new pieces from her own collections.
It started as a gift from me to her,
Pieces of Life, I called it.
When I took it out of the bag to give it to her,
the "Caleb-Twig" was broken.
She assured me she could fix it.
And as you see, she has, by adding another twig,
found by special little grand-hands in her own family circle,
and a shell I had given her years ago.
And isn't that the way friendship works at its loveliest?
We present the gift of ourselves,
our pieces-of-life, brokenness included,
and a loving friend accepts the whole package,
even our brokenness,
and by doing so makes our gift even more beautiful,
more complete perhaps.
Sacred synergy!
