Broken Furniture

Periodically, I go through a massive clean-up. I look around and see what I can get rid of. I really hate trying to fix pieces of furniture and other items around my home that might need repair. I am always like, "Just get rid of it." But then the frugal guru in me puts that plan on hold and decide to get more life out of the bookcase by just repairing it with a little wood glue. But, there have been moments  (I admit) when my repair job just didn't work and I needed a professional. For example, when my car breaks down and needs repair, I attempt to do my remedies but eventually, I call in to the repair shop for help. But what happens when even the professionals can't repair the broken item?

Sometimes broken things can't be fixed. They must be replaced. After attempting to repair and fix it over and over again, there comes a point when you must discared it, throw it away, get rid of it. Detach all emotional sentiment and throw it away. Get a new one. Easy to say about a chair but what about life?

What do you do about the broken areas of your soul? Do you just throw away those areas if they can't be repaired? What do you do about a broken friendship or relationship? Do you do all to repair it and save it or do you just chuck it and say, "I tried" ? What do you do about a job that just isn't working anymore? Do you think about the economy and try to fix whatever is not going well or do you quit, say good riddens, and collect unemployment until you find another job? See, broken areas of life are not so easy to either repair or discard.

I have no solution. I have no Golden Ticket answer. But what I do know to be true is that the Spirit of God will guide you into all Truth concerning every area of your life. Seek the face of God and you will find direction for what to do with your "Broken Furniture."

Blessings to you,
