I’m Just Fine with Chipped!

1. We find joy in buying 

all the things we love the most

like lovely China dinner plates 

and crystal, used to toast.

As we decorate our home 

it brings us great delight

choosing things that bring 

a touch of HEAVEN to our sight.

Everything looks new and shiny, 

charming, fresh and clean.

The thought of things becoming old 

is often unforeseen.

2. As our dishes become chipped 

we may give them away

then we spend more money 

on a brand new set one day.

This can seem alright at first

 but then our view might change,

and our OUTLOOK 

we may just decide to rearrange.

3. It is very difficult 

to welcome faults and flaws,

so that is why I ask you now 

to just reflect and pause.

Compare ourselves to our belongings 

and I think you’ll see

we all have IMPERFECTIONS, 

but our God loves you and me.

Maybe He is teaching us 

the value in things flawed.

If it brings humility, 

it’s worth sincere applaud.

4. I have found, as years go by, 

the value of the old.

Passing time gives way

for newer blessings to unfold.

When we calmly try accepting 

changes in our life,

it will have a strong impact

 on dealing with our STRIFE.

5. One step further, if to faults, 

“I love you” we reply,

we’ll have found the SECRET

of true happiness and joy!

I try to appreciate 

my old things more and more,

finding coziness and charm

in my lovely décor.

Even if my favorite tea cup 

happens to be chipped,

a fresh baked cookie still 
tastes as delicious when it’s dipped!
