The world is filled with broken people, but as Leonard Cohen said, perhaps that's how the light gets in - through the cracks. Through these imperfect and plain old jars of clay, His love shines through us. When I am blessed enough to receive the love and care of others, through the way they place the welfare of others above themselves, I can't help ( Read more... )
