Obviously this is true for more than swing-sets. When our choices and other life circumstances break things apart in our lives, we rarely return to our old state. Relationships that have been restored never mirror what they used to be. Places of authority and reputations never snap back to their original position. Our self esteem isn't the same after a difficult personal interaction. Our mind & spirit don't operate on the same plane as they used to after periods of refining.
The good news is that we don't have to look weathered and beaten up like old playground equipment. When our confidence and hope are in God we actually become better than we used to be. God will work through our life situations (and often orchestrate them) to take broken pieces and re-purpose them into something whole and beautiful.
