Musings of a Butterfly

I wanted to use my daughter's laptop tonight but she failed to deal with a problem message and now her computer has shut down screaming, "NO MORE!" I have had days like that where I want to scream "NO MORE!" because I've ignored the trouble brewing messages. What funny creatures we are--fallen and all. Our fallen world, too, is far from perfect. I love the Walgreen's "perfect world" ads--especially the one with Monk and his perfectly square clouds. But that's not our world and certainly not our nature. But when my world and I fall apart, thank God He's there and so lovingly picks up the pieces. As Nancy Clairmont would say, "God uses cracked pots and I'm the visual aid." Indeed! I have been so broken. My dad told me long ago, "Out of faith, hope, and love, never give up the hope for better days." I took it to heart and hung out for hope somewhere...some how... someday. But when I took Jesus to heart, I found hope for every day. I'm so grateful for our God, my Jesus, and His Spirit. How wonderful these cracks can be when healed by the Master!
