How good and pleasant it is when God's people live together in unity. ~Psalm 133:1
Voices rage
Against what?
Mirage, sad
Misconceptions
Deceit pushing
Pulling, rending
Until fabric
Unravels
We choose to weave
Again, together
Threads of life
Redeemed forever
Stiches firmly
Sewed and mended
By God's hand
Eternal grace
The quilt of life
Amen!
I know most of you were expecting a post about the recent visit from our kids and grandkids, but as they just left for home, I did not have time to do them justice here on Friday. I will write about them for Tuesday's blog. That's a promise! Blessings!
Lovely poem, Martha. The whole of life is a quilt created by God.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Yes, it is, Victor, and thanks for your kind words about the poem.

I love the idea of our threads of life being woven together by His hand. What a sight to behold!

I loved that thought, too, Myra, and I know that's what God would certainly want for His people - united, not unraveled.

Wonderful poem and picture. And yes, we are looking forward to hearing about your visit with the family. But I will try to be patient! LOL. I know you are probably tired from all the fun and frolics! And pleasant memories. I know you will miss them again now...but you will have such happy thoughts about your time together to carry you through until the next visit! Blessings galore.
ReplyDeletePamela, I started missing them the moment they pulled out of the driveway yesterday. But I will continue to dwell on the great memories we made while they were here. Glad you liked the poem!
