This is the second in a 4-part series honoring the Japanese art of kintsugi. This is an old tradition of repairing broken pottery with gold. The idea behind it is that once the pottery has been broken and repaired through kintsugi, it is now perfect. This series relates that same philosophy to those that have been through difficult times, or are going through them now. You might feel broken, but you can be healed if you keep your eyes on the greatest healer, God.
