Random Items of Life

Random Item #1: Have you ever noticed that in life there are just some things you can't change NO matter what, or how we try? WELLLLLLLLL I've decided that rather than letting those things bring you down, you should just, well, ENJOY them, and all of those hard times, and windstorms that God has sent your way just remember...they make you a BETTER person, and frankly they make you...you! and "you" is pretty stinkin' amazing! :) 

OHHH YES! Story Time!!! 


God's Embroidery Author Unknown


When I was a little boy, my mother used to embroider a great deal. I would sit on her knee and look up from the floor and ask what she was doing. She informed me that she was embroidering. I told her that it looked like a mess from where I was. As from the underside I watched her work within the boundaries of the little round hoop that she held in her hand, I complained to her that it sure looked messy from where I sat. 

She would smile at me, look down and gently say, "My son, you go about your playing for awhile, and when I am finished with my embroidering, I will put you on my knee and let you see it from my side." 


I would wonder why she was using some dark threads along with the bright ones and why they seemed so jumbled from my view. A few minutes would pass and then I would hear mother's voice say, "Son, come and sit on my knee." This I did only to be surprised and thrilled to see a beautiful flower or a sunset. I could not believe it, because from underneath it looked so messy. 


Then mother would say to me, "My son, from underneath it did look messy and jumbled, but you did not realize that there was a pre-drawn plan on top. It was a design. I was only following it. Now look at it from my side and you will see what I was doing."

Many times through the years I have looked up to my Heavenly Father and said, "Father, what are you doing?" He has answered, "I am embroidering your life." I say, "But it looked like a mess to me. It seems so jumbled. The threads seem so dark. Why can't they all be bright?" 


The Father seems to tell me, "My child, you go about your business of doing My business, and one day I will bring you to Heaven and put you on my knee and you will see the plan from My side."
