So as many of you know things haven’t been too good recently. But there is always light, even when we can’t see it. I have been so blessed by my incredible friends. I’ve become so aware of how broken we all are.
When I was younger I used to be obsessed with rocks and minerals (I had a collection…) Oh yes, I was that sad. But there was one semi-precious stone that I always liked the best, always wanted one – the opal. You see the opal is inherently flawed, yet it is the flaws that make it beautiful. The light gets in through the cracks and bounces around inside it (okay I can’t quite remember the science…) – the important thing was that it was cracked and broken and that is what made it be an opal.
The asbo on the 4th summed up a lot. As does Lamentation 3v22.
