Broken
Perspective is everything in life. I have always been one to pick up objects that people put out on the street and take them home to fix. I see treasures where others see junk. Today I finished a project given to me by a friend. This guitar was dropped and broken and about to be thrown in the dumpster when they remembered me. The fixer of broken things. I think of this in relation to life and my relationship with God. I am glad God does not trash us when we are broken. Read the poem to see how it turned out.
Broken
What do you see when something is broken
An object to discard
Or an object restored
Half-full or half-empty
Perspective is everything
Affects all of life
We all become broken
At some time in our life
Thinking we are beyond repair
But God sees us otherwise
And restores us with his grace
His perspective
His Love
Are always there
We always have our place

Are you called Roth ? What is your name ?
I am speechless at your wonderful message.
How beautifully you have repaired that Guitar.
Truly you are rightly called “The Fixer of Broken Things”.
And Yes, we must remember that GOD never discards us, when he are down and broken. HE ALWAYS RESTORES US.

Your are vey kind to say all those things. My name is Dwight. I feel that understanding God should connect with what happens around me. It is very simple and not so complicated as many would make you think.
I will check out your pieces!
Thank you again.

First time I have heard this name. Dwight. Does it have a meaning ? Because I am from India, so not quite familiar with this name.

Interesting. I am sure it has a meaning but I am not sure what it is. When I was born my mom named me Dwight after a famous evangelist out of Chicago named Dwight L. Moody. It was right after WWII and some people thought I as named for Dwight D Eisenhower the General who later became President!!
