Some of my life’s most difficult times have happened in the Spring. Sometimes life is scary and can be so disappointing.
I learned early in LIFE that earthly days are shorter for SOME and longer for OTHERS.
I learned that others, friends, loved ones are only MINE for a time. What was, what is, and what will be are only ours for a time. They touch our lives for a time and then things can change in an instant.
Grandpa’s and Grandma’s get very, very old and their bodies don’t work anymore. It can be very hard to accept the fact that someone is NOT with us anymore and we will never, ever see them here on earth again.
We're still sad that Uncle Matt isn't here with us and we still miss him very much, but it's comforting to know that he’s with God now,"We can talk about the special memories and talk about the times we had with him , and yes we cry. And that's alright.
If you have not accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior, let me encourage you to search your heart and make that choice. I do not know how anyone can go through such heartache and keep any sanity without the peace and love of God carrying them through it.
I believe your Uncle Matt's life had purpose, and that whatever that purpose was, he fulfilled it in 32 yrs.
I am so thankful to God weaving/embroidering me into that little girl that I was, the young woman I have been, the woman that I am today, and the one I shall be in the remainder of my days here on earth. As I complete this woman, I am grateful for the woven masterpiece that God is still making me into.
Yes, my journey, and how very,very much I have to be thankful for.
I have had a rich, colorful, and meaningful life. I am so grateful for every experience.
Not that it’s always been easy. Hardly. There’s been a lot of pain. Bad decisions. Expensive mistakes. Words and actions that I regret. But, by the grace of God, I have made it this far. I have no complaints. And by the grace of God I will continue on.
It made me also think again how much life is like a tapestry an embroidery.
The most IMPORTANT THING ABOUT GOD
IS THAT HE IS GOD, AND HE IS MY GOD. HE CANNOT BE FRIENDS WITH SIN
And He is SOVEREIGN! SOVEREIGN? Where in the world did that word pop up?
When we say that God
is SOVEREIGN, we mean that He has control over the whole universe. He has absolute authority.
When I realized that God was in control it freed me to trust Him and that fact, that He has the right to plan my life. It frees me from worries
I often want to be in control of everything so I know what to expect. However, life is not like that.
But, when things happen that I was not expecting, God knew about them. Because He knows everything.
He is in control and He will be with me through the unexpected things in my life.
To say that God is Sovereign means He rules over. He is the BOSS of everything.
He has the right to rule over me because God made me. God does as he pleases with His Creation. And I am one of His creation.
Yes, there have been many times through the years, I have been tempted to look up at God and say "Father, what are You doing?" and He answered, "I am embroidering your life." But I say "It looks like a mess to me, The threads seem so dark. Why can't they all be bright.
The passage of time reveals more of what he has embroidered into my life and helps in trusting him.
God's wisdom far exceeds mine.
