God's Grace and Brokenness.

I have a sign hanging in my room. Its beautiful and sad. Its a sign that should remind me of brokenness but every time I look at my beautiful, sad sign it reminds me of God's grace and goodness to me.

People ask me, why I keep it hanging on my wall... they ask if it reminds me of pain but the only response I can think to give them is "Its beautiful" The sign is beautiful, it has such a mystery...and one of my best friends painted it for me. That's why I keep it up. I love the picture. I love it with all my heart and even though it should remind me of the time I was hurt and played it doesn't. If anything it reminds me of how much my heavenly father loves me and cared enough to let me hurt a little to save me from hurting a lot. That's what the sign means to me. Its a beautiful, broken sign that reminds me of God's grace.

....and that's why I leave it hanging on my wall.
