........glass doll syndrome
.........i was cleaning gwen's room one day and picked up her glass doll.......it was completely broken....except for the head......funny thing was.........you couldn't tell......the dress held in all the broken pieces and she looked fine.......all held together by a beautiful dress......i wouldn't have even known had i not picked it up off of the floor........where it had been since it had fallen........isn't it amazing how that dress held all the pieces together.........funny how we don't notice some things are broken until we actually have contact with them.........

There is such depth in that... wow! So many times I don't even realize personally how broken things seem and then I look a little deeper and I can see all the brokenness and then.. well then I blog about it or cry alone for a little while. Thanks for the thoughts.. and thanks for being such and encouragement! Love you Jen!
Hey Jen, I heard this song on the radio the other day. It made me think about this post. Anyway just wanted to share.---Linette
They Don't Understand-Sawyer Brown
A mother riding on a city bus
kids are yelling kicking up a fuss
everybody’s staring
not knowing what she's going through
somebody said don't you even care
and do you let them do that everywhere
she slowly turned around, looked up and stared.
She said, "Please forgive them
they've been up all night
their father struggled
but he finally lost his fight
he went to heaven
in the middle of the night
so please forgive my children
they don’t understand."
Chorus:
Everybody's busy with their own situation
everybody's lost in their own little world
bottled up, hurried up, trying to make a dream come true
they don't understand
everybody's livin' like there ain't no tomorrow
maybe we should stop and take a little time
cause you never really know what your neighbor’s going through
they don't understand.
A man driving on the interstate
slowing down traffic making everybody wait
everybody’s staring not knowing what he's going through
somebody honked from the passing lane
yelling out the window "hey I ain't got all day"
the old man looked around and he caught his eye.
He said, "Please forgive me
you know it's been a long life
my wife has passed away
and my kids don’t have the time
I've been left all alone
and it's getting hard to drive
so please forgive me, children
they don't understand."
Chorus:
Everybody's busy with their own situation
everybody's lost in their own little world
bottled up, hurried up, trying to make a dream come true
they don't understand
everybody's livin' like there ain't no tomorrow
maybe we should stop and take a little time
cause you never really know what your neighbor’s going through
they don't understand.
A man hanging on a wooden cross
giving everything to save the lost
everybody's staring
not knowing what he's going through
somebody said "you don't have a prayer
if you're the king come on down from there"
the man just turned his head
looked up and stared.
He said "please forgive them
for they have not seen the light
but they'll come to know me
when I come back to life
and go to heaven
to make everything all right
so please forgive your children
they don't understand.
Chorus:
Everybody's busy with their own situation
everybody's lost in their own little world
bottled up, hurried up, trying to make a dream come true
they don't understand
everybody's livin' like there ain't no tomorrow

cause you never really know what your neighbor’s going through

Isn't that how we all are...especially in the "Church"? We put on a good "Face", but inside is all broken by sin and pride, and no one would ever know...unless we let them pick us up and hold us...unless we let them get close! What a picture...and that is what the people without Christ actually need...to see that we are broken, just like everyine else in this world...just like them!
