One of the things that really frustrates me around our house is the amount of things that are broken and need fixing.
A quick glance around the house reveals: necklaces with a broken clasps, pieces of a shattered teacup, a watch that doesn't work, screws from something (?) that need to be replaced. Things missing battery packs. A broken clock. A broken door handle. Lamps with broken on/off switches. Sunglasses without the little nose-thingy.
Not to mention clothes than need hemming or mending. And of course the "old house" issues of iffy plumbing and leaky faucets. Sigh.
I can't fix all of those things today, but I think I could fix one of them if I tried.
So today's Small Thing is to fix something that's broken! Maybe it's a Barbie that needs her arm replaced or a toy car that lost a wheel. Maybe it's something that just needs a little dot of super glue to bring it back to life. I know I can't tackle our plumbing, but I could glue that cracked plate that's been in the junk drawer for 5 years.
While you're fixing something at your house, think about the small ways YOU being mended. After all, we're each just a little bit broken and in need of healing. But God is working in us in small, yet wonderous ways--healing what hurts and fixing what's broken. It's happening, even when we don't feel it.
These Small Things are giving me confidence to do more than I thought I could. I'm being fixed a little bit each day just by doing them. I'm grateful to my Company Girls for being along for this adventure!
