Myself – Firstly, I wish to say thank you Someone, for taking the time to answer these few questions I wish to ask.

Someone – you are quite welcome, I am so glad you asked me to do this interview.

Myself – I was hoping you might share a little about what you do.

Someone – I find and save things that are broken and lost. Once found, I take the broken thing and mend it. Then I set it on the path it needed to find.

Myself – Wow! That seems like a great amount of time and effort, since I see broken things everywhere. Don’t you ever get tired and want to quit? I can only imagine how it might feel to pick up a broken thing and see that you have fixed it in the past and it is broken yet again.

Someone – My desire is to always be near the broken, to always save what is crushed in spirit. I was created to fulfill these things and I never tire or lose my desire for restoring a broken thing.

Myself – I myself have been mended by your hands on multiple occasions, so I can certainly attest to the truth of your statement about return visits. This has brought me to my last question, which is one that I rarely use these days, but since this is an interview and it is a logical question to follow the others… Why? Why do you come back each time and mend again, if you know I will most likely break something else and need you to help?

Someone – Because I love you…

Myself – …and …

Someone – I love you…

Myself – I have had many tell me they loved me and when I needed them, they failed me…

Someone – Have I ?

Myself – Well, actually No!

Someone – Look not to the world for what will heal, mend, and save you. Look Up!

Myself – Why?

Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.” John 14:6

Myself – I am a bit overwhelmed with your answer, so I will end this particular interview in an effort to absorb your heartfelt answers. Would you be willing to share like this again at a later date, if needed?

Jesus – “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.” Matthew 7:7,8

Myself – Thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to meet with me for this interview. I know that it was last minute, but you were already having coffee with me, so it worked out perfectly. I even set out this plate of biscotti and coffee for the readers, so help yourself.
