Life.......pieced over time.

“How much piecin' a quilt's like living a life...
The Lord sends us the pieces, but we can cut 'em out and put 'em together pretty much to suit ourselves...”

It comes our way everyday,
pieces of our life that is...
colored with memories
raveled over time
rubbed threadbare from days of worry
mingled with something new and different everyday
the shiny and the new
the common and the plain..
all our choosing to pick.

All
offerings from the Universe..

We each have the opportunity
to spread our pieces out,
match up the colors
create a masterful piece of work
full of color and mysterious patterns
we move them around,
mix and match
choosing our favorite and most memorable
cut,
pin
stitch
and
quilt.

Our life is a quilt
pieced over time
colored with memories and hurt and love
stitched with dreams
quilted with courage and faith and hope and love...
our life
the tapestry
of
a puzzle that
we
get to design.

May each of us
on this rainy Friday Evening
create a beautiful warm piece of life.

Blessings and Hugs

Love this! Makes me think of the quilts that my grandmother made for each of her 5 granddaughters, using squares that were collected by my great grandmother. So many lives connected with those quilts!
