"In All thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths"
As I drove to town one day this week, my eyes fell on this fence up the street from my home. The broken fence and all the weeds that surround it, hasn't been taken care of.
I thought, " How sad, that this pretty white fence has been neglected". It reminds me of other things in our lives that are like this, broken and unamended, relationships in our friendship, marriages, our spiritual lives and many others!
Here is a poem I found, by Milica Franchi DeLuie
My broken heart
My broken spirit
My broken mind
My broken family
My broken dreams
My broken life
Through out the years
I've tried and tried
with much persistence
I've tried to fix
my broken existance
Only to learn to my dismay
My shattered life
As is will stay.
How sad! I wanted change that last line and insert
"doesn't have to be this way,
With Faith and Trust in God,
it can be fixed some day!"
If our time and energy isn't worth putting the effort into making our lives what God intended it to be, then we have failed, but by His Grace we can mend our fences, not only with each other but with Him!
"Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up." Galatians 6:9 niv
The author of the poem, to me, seems to have given up.
Take care to mend your fences and face tomorrow with
Faith, Love and Hope!
Never give up!
Have a Blessed Sunday,
Sylvia

Thanks Pamela, it's been a great day!
Hey Sylvia!
I so much agree with you about that poem! Perfectly good, until you get to that last line! I have done that a lot in my life, read books that everyone else have raved about but I sometimes find them much too negative and not enough importance placed upon our hope and faith in the Lord. xx
Oh Sylvia! Happy Birthday! I love the poem with the last lines changed,.
This is a great post...love it...
Great thoughts-thank you for posting this!
What wonderful thoughts. I needed this today.
Blessings and Sunshine, Valerie
It doesn't make any difference where you reside, everybody encounters brutal climate. Typhoons, incredibly high breezes, and the uncommon event of a blizzard or tropical storm would all be able to prompt fence harm. Despite the fact that it's anything but consistently conceivable to anticipate terrible climate or the harm that it might cause ahead of time, having your home's wall fixed at the earliest opportunity after a tempest is a decent method of guaranteeing your house is continually putting its best self forward.
Fence harm can likewise happen when your fence is utilized improperly. For instance, if weighty gear or apparatuses are swung from your fence and they are not sufficiently able to support their weight, this may make it break or be pulled rusty. Additionally, in the event that they are utilized to hang enormous, substantial beautifications this could make them twist and be harmed, which could prompt required fixes or upkeep.
