Life is More Than Things You Own

A Stitch In Time

The Fabric of Creation is really quite profound. Wisdom from above is above all, sound. Its stitches are intricately sown, each color and pattern as yet is to be known. For most of us here on this Earth, the beginnings of life begin with our birth.

Two parents, a dream, and hopes for this life are all that is needed. Along the way come challenges and risks—but these are the stitches that are seeded.

Just who and what will determine our patterns—our choices and learning are really what matters.

A few steps here, a few steps there. We breathe in and out, and for some this is quite rare. As we inhabit this same space, we see ourselves in this human race.

Our quilt by and large is mostly quite colorful—what we will do with it should hopefully turn out beautiful.

Some dare to try to unravel what others see in our quilts our need to travel. The length of years we all cannot see, for it is but God who gives us His decree.

Singing, dancing, writing, and caring are the needle, thread, and fabric we’re wearing. Who will we resemble we will often ask? Finding our place in this world can be a difficult task.

But laughing and giving and sharing we must—as the needle and threads are mingled with dust. The heavens declare His handiwork—our duties to Him we must never shirk.

I hope this reflection helps you with this—finding your pattern and with that all, bliss. As our time nears God is the one who will gather our fabric and tears—and lay them at His feet. This thought is really quite sweet. He counts each tear; each thread closest to Him is so very dear.
