There is a church in
England renown for its beautiful stain glass windows and that is an unusual
reputation it has garnered because you see …it is not a stained glass window at
all.
It looks
like it at first glance and at a distance that the design and colors are
magnificent.
But then when you get up close…you see that these magnificent masterpieces are made up of countless
little pieces of broken glass.
Pieces of obscure
bottles and a host of other broken objects.
And some saw
shattered pieces of glass as worthless and threw
them away.
But one man saw broken pieces of glass as
priceless…and made a monument to human creativity and the desire to find beauty where it was most unlikely to be found.
And
the lesson for you and me is obvious…make the best of the
worst.
Which reminds me of yet another story…of a man who
took tragedy and turned it into a full and rewarding life.
And who was that man? Henry
Fawcett.
He
became Post Master General of the whole of England and took this position to a
new level.
He introduced such things as parcel post, postal savings and
postal money orders.
And what is really
interesting is the fact that he was totally
blind.
