Broken Can Be Fixed

Walking past a neighbor’s house the other day, I noticed a rose bud that had almost been snapped off. I grabbed it and brought it home. I trimmed off the damaged stem and put it in water.

Look at the results! Its fragrance filled the room.

I realized the lesson from the broken rose.

Broken people can be fixed, much like a little rose bud, almost disconnected from the rest. Imagine if we would rescue that person, help bind or discard what was wounded and then put in a place of nurturing?

Powerful metaphor. Much to think about.
