…Let’s Share Life, Ideas, Stories….And Anything Else That Comes To Mind….
I am sure we all have our share of life lessons and experiences that leaves us exhausted and full of more questions than answers.
As each year passes by, I am understanding the phrase "Let go and Let God" more.
I am sharing these two poems because I find them to be true and helps me to see life in a more reflective perspective as I forge ahead into the new decade.
My life is but a weaving between my God and me.
I do not choose the colors; He worketh steadily.
Oft times He weaveth sorrow, and I in foolish pride
Forget He sees the upper-, and I the under-side.
Not till the loom is silent and the shuttles cease to fly..
Will God unroll the canvas and explain the reasons why..
The dark threads are as needful in a skillful weaver’s hand.
As the threads of gold and silver, in the pattern he has planned.
Poem by Grant Tuller.
If today is the best day of your life, it won’t last. Tonight might be an inch short of hopeless; it won’t last either. Whatever has brought you to this moment is only part of the story of your life and relationship. The rest is yet to come. Put all of it—dark thorns and shining threads—into God’s hands, and he will sustain you.
—Wayne Brouwer
