Joyful Ruins

Discovering joy in the hard places

The Puzzle Maker

My heart is an unfinished puzzle

the missing pieces

can cause my heart

to sometimes

ache

anticipate

hurt

and dream

I can imagine I know what the pieces look like

a strong hand holding mine

small faces to kiss at night

watch over in life

but those may not be

the pieces that fit

Only One truly knows

how to complete it

He sees the picture

and knows the pieces

He satisfies my unfinished heart

as it awaits all the parts

They may not be what I dream of

but I can trust

they will finish the puzzle

of my intentionally made heart

I see the world through stories and insights. I have always been a sensitive soul, especially towards nature, people, art, and faith. I spend a lot of time reflecting and finding treasures wherever I can. The two values I live by are beauty and celebration. I hope my blog communicates those two things, seeing beauty where beauty is not often seen and celebrating every aspect of life, the hard and the easy.
