All misfortune is but a stepping stone to fortune. - Thoreau

Tshombe E Edwards on Twitter: "… "

Baloney sandwich, cookies and thermos keep spilling out.
Latch on my Johnny Lightning lunchbox doesn't hold anymore.
Mama put a bobby pin through it with a rubber band wrapped around.
Kids all make fun of me now.
Don't know what to do.
Thank goodness God uses superglue ...

Ugh I love this! I take this to be a metaphor for how we are imperfect in our relationships and reconciliations, and yet it's that imperfection which makes us human.

indeed. thank you for sharing insightful thoughts ... :)
Well, we all know kids can be cruel. Actually, though, I don't believe God uses super glue. He simply fixes the miscreant object in his stern cosmic glance and thunders, "Thou shalt not break!" And lo, the damage is undone.
