"Don't wish me happiness I don't expect to be happy all the time....It's gotten beyond that somehow. Wish me courage and strength and a sense of humor. I will need them all." Anne Morrow Lindbergh

Tapestry

Weaving takes time and I spend hours weaving these letters which gradually merge into words. The long process of meditating word upon word of scripture feeds my soul. I mourn for the life I will never have but in the same breath it is because of tragedy that I can begin to comprehend God's love. In the solitude of the loom with my mind on scripture I have a peace I have never had since my partner left. There is hope - because He has given it to me. The last trip to town I felt I had to go on a particular Monday. When we got back from town and I went to park the vehicle on the mainland side so we could take the water taxi home I saw a tow truck hooking up the car beside me where I had been parked that morning. The area was now ribboned off and even though I had been parking there - along with everybody else for many years the property owner had evidently decided that parking was not going to be allowed there anymore! I give praise to God for looking out for me. I know someone is going to think it is a nice coincidence- and to that person I say this - what has coincidence given you? Has it given you love, hope, healing and provided for your physical needs?

  1. I am tend to believe that things were meant to be rather than coincidences, too. Your tapestry is gorgeous, as usual, your talent is amazing.

  4. God things are not coincidences! We miss them if we're not keeping our minds on Him who provides all we need, including saving us from being towed from a parking space.

  6. I'm thankful the Lord looked out for you before you even knew it was going to be necessary. So thankful for His provision. Your bookmark is so amazing, and I can imagine how the words would truly be implanted in your heart after spending so much time making the bookmark. Praying for you dear friend, that the Lord blesses you in a sweet and special way this year :)

  7. Thank you for your prayers Marilyn. You are very kind. My tapestry is actually a sampler. Another tapestry will come from this piece. I feel so blessed to be able to spend my time this way - in His word. Blessings to you. Ronda
