1) Stitched... knitted... woven...
however it was...
it's by His hand that I came to be.
There's something very comforting about that.
That the handiwork of the Master-Designer
can create such a beautiful soul.
A beautiful
You.
2) I know someone who hammered away at the drills
and the exercises, and the repetition,
over and over and over again.
After all, this whole piano thing was his idea.
I am thankful he asked for lessons,
for he is gifted in a marvelous way.
Now, every once in a while, a new composition
comes floating our way.
What a joy.
Here, for you, the keys of an old tune are hammering away
in response to his passion:
3) Woven...
as in threaded through and out
and through and out again
and do it again and again.
Like a life that has to experience
one thing after the other,
sometimes the same thing...
in order to learn
one
darned
darned
lesson.
And we think it's all a mess,
undecipherable,
illogical and downright futile
to have to visit that again,
and again,
and again.
and again.
That's not how God sees it.
Every woven thread has a purpose,
and soon enough,
you will see the beauty of it all.
It's true, you know...
