This is an old story, I had read a few years ago, and was very moved by this episode, today while I was busy searching for a file, I suddenly found this story again, and I am happy to post, as it reminds me, that every sad event, provides us insight to move into something more beautiful and profound.
Women
dropped a beautiful oranges vase on the kitchen floor; it splintered into
dozens of tiny pieces. She swept the
pieces up and threw them into the waste basket.
An
hour later, she discovered her little daughter had retrieved the pieces from
the waste basket and had pasted them on a piece of white cardboard. Then, using a green crayon, the little girl
had drawn stems and leaves on each piece, converting them into a beautiful
bouquet of orange flowers.
The
woman was moved to tears. Her daughter
has seen something in the broken pieces that she had not seen. Where she had seen trash, her daughter had
seen treasure. From what she considered
to be something ugly, he daughter had fashioned something beautiful.
What
an insight – whenever we are rejected, broken and feel a sense of
worthlessness, may this small story uplift & inspire us!
Be Blessed & Be Happy!
