I just love reading this book. It's called More Stories from the Heart. Here is one of my favortie short stories:


The Mender

He had built for himself a great house on one of the Caribbean islands. It is a thing to behold. Tall rusty iron columns, collected and resurrected with an ingenious homemade device. This Great House is a masterpiece of salvaged materials.


A collector and seller of scrap metal as well as antiques, he wa also fascinated with broken bits and pieces of china dug froml his front yard. His friends, John and June Cash, laughingly remarked it was the first time they had heard of a yard sale where the man had sold the yard itself. Carefully he fitted and glued the pieces together. Few ever came out whole. They remained simply a colletion of one who cared.


When I expressed interest, he handed me a blue-and-white plate, carefully glued together--missing pieces.

"You remind me of God," I said. By the look on his face, I knew I shocked him, and I hurriedly explained.

"God pieces back broken lives lovingly. Sometimes a piece is irretrievalbly lost. But still He gathers what He can and restores us."

This story reminded me of my own life. It hits close to home.
