TRIBUTE TO BRENDA

Brenda is so skilled with the ability to design fantastic art from broken pieces. She often breaks treasured China ware to use the scraps in pendants. If you would like to develop that talent you might start here with paper plates. See where you end up. Perhaps you can make something as charming as this dinner setting.

Mentors, mothers, and ministers have a heart to mend hearts and minds. Strength and beauty often start with broken pieces. Brenda can do that, too. She can also point you to a Man who can.

I am writing this with my niece, Brenda, in mind. She is in mothering mode where she sees the need. I love you, Bren.

By necessity you are among those who come after me and I will tell you of those who came before. Once upon a time in a little house on a prairie - oops, change that lest I commit plagiarism - and change that “house on the prairie” to “dugout on the prairie.” So my story begins...

Strength and beauty often start with broken pieces. Brenda can do that, too.” Brenda sounds like a wonderful person. Thanks for writing this in her honor.

    My old mentor called people like Brenda “Jesus with skin.” She was one of them herself. Heartwarming tribute, Oneta.

  4. Beautiful. And Jesus is indeed the Man who can heal broken hearts and minds.

    A sweet and charming write. People do make a difference. 🙂
