Broken Wings

I had moved my porcelain figurines from one spot to another as workmen came into our house to refinish floors,paint walls and lay new carpet. My bird collection was very special to me, for my now-deceased mother had given it to me. When it was time to replace my nic nacks, I was very disappointed when I discovered my porcelain birds had sustained substantial damage... at my own hand, I might add!I tried to repair the broken wings with one type of glue after another, but to no avail. The wings were so fragile, the glues I used didn't seem to work. I couldn't fix them, so now they adorn my house in their broken state. I cannot bring myself to discard them.

I remembered a lovely song which LeAnn Rimes sang called "Broken Wing." It told how a female bird stayed with her mate on the onset of winter, when they should have migrated. He had a broken wing and couldn't fly, and she faithfully stayed beside him.We receive broken wings many times in our lives. There are times we are so shattered and down in heart that we feel we cannot function. We may try to glue the pieces of our brokeness together, but to no avail. Our loving heavenly Father has the glue which will work, however, and it is His enormous love. It may repair the damage to your life very quickly, or it may take much longer than you have ever imagined, but He will remain at your side during the time of healing, just as the female bird did in the song. God's love glue will repair any broken wings which life may have thrown you.

So if you are feeling crushed or down hearted, allow God to fix your brokeness. Just ask for His help, and be patient as He repairs the damaged pieces.
